This morning I listened to a radio show about how Washington public schools are facing challenges about how to handle digital slander, so to speak.
In an example, one hugh school student made fun of a professor's tagline via Facebook and got caught. The principal only gave her a slap on the wrist, but she was still miffed.
You would think kids would have realised by now that anything they publish online is public domain and can be used against them.
I really don't see where the problem is. If kids don't want to be prosecuted for what they publish online, they should know better than to put anything incriminating online. And anything that the schools (or universities) find should be treated as speech and should be used in that manner.
