More than two dozen British schoolgirls have been suspended for using the Facebook website to engage in a hate campaign against their teacher.
The 29 girls were suspended from the venerable Grey Coat Hospital School in London for persecuting a member of staff, principal Rachel Allard said on Friday.
It was not clear what the girls wrote on the website but The Telegraph newspaper said the targeted teacher was forced to seek counselling. The girls were suspended for up to 15 days and are due to return to class on Tuesday.
The Grey Coat Hospital School for girls aged between 11 and 18 was founded in 1698.
Facebook, a popular social networking site, has often landed pupils, and teachers, in trouble for posting unguarded or inappropriate comments.
