COSTA MESA, Calif. - A middle school student faces expulsion for allegedly posting graphic threats against a classmate on the popular MySpace.com Web site, and 20 of his classmates were suspended for viewing the posting, school officials said.

Police are investigating the boy's comments about his classmate at TeWinkle Middle School as a possible hate crime, and the district is trying to expel him.

According to three parents of the suspended students, the invitation to join the boy's MySpace group gave no indication of the alleged threat. They said the MySpace social group name's was "I hate (girl's name)" and included an expletive and an anti-Semitic reference.

MySpace is the most ridiculous piece of crap on the internet. It's worse than facebook. And that says a lot, because I hate facebook with a passion.

Parents need to know what their kids are doing on the internet. Thankfully, my children are grown and I don't have to deal with this "policing" of my computer, but if they were not grown I would take an extremely aggressive part in supervising their computer and internet time.
