A Florida mom said her 4-year-old son was expelled from his preschool over a message she posted on her personal Facebook page.
Ashley Habat said she and her son, Will, were running late for school. It was picture day at Sonshine Christian Academy.
Habat said: "The administrator of the preschool checking him in, she's like 'Well it's picture day. Will, are you excited?' And you know he of course just went on to class, but I had mentioned that they didn't give enough notice. And she's like, 'Well we put it in his folder last week.'"
So Habat said she took to Facebook, saying she just wanted to vent her frustrations. She also never thought the school would ever see her post.
"They couldn't see it; it was private to my friends only," Habat said of the post.
The post read: "Why is it that every single day there is something new I dislikes about Will's school? Are my standards really too high or are people working in the education field really just that ignorant".
She tagged the school in the post. The next morning, she received a call asking her to stop by when she drops off her son.
Habat said: "They just felt like we weren't the right fit of parent relationship with the school and that they didn't want him as a student anymore. He had done nothing wrong."
According to the letter of dismissal: "Your relationship with Sonshine did not get off to a very good start the first day of school...you utilized social media to call into question not only the integrity but the intelligence of our staff. These actions are also consistent with sowing discord which is spoken of in the handbook you signed."
Habat said she was surprised.
"I was in shock," she said. "Why would you expel a 4 year-old over something his mom posts on her private Facebook page only people on her friends list can see?"
