Today in schools there are a lot of bullying problems which can be agreed need better solutions.
But limiting online speech that is done outside of school is not one of them. Limiting online speech especially if it is done outside school. It is jeopardizing 1st amendment freedom of speech rights. Also cyberbullying is not a widespread problem and cyberbullying is not that disruptive in the school environment. Therefore it is necessary to look at all the facts here on limiting online speech.
I feel that limiting online speech that happens outside of school is an unnecessary punishment that school districts are forcing upon students. Looking at the survey of British school teachers it is said that 84.9% reported not being cyberbullied. The survey also tells if it affected the person and 38.6% of people had no effect. With this type of major percentage it is showing that cyberbullying is not a widespread problem schools are making out to be. I feel that over exaggerating cyberbullying will cause over exaggerating solutions.
Cyberbullying is not a disruptive factor to school systems as the public school systems are making it out to be. In the J.S v. blue mountain school district case, J.S created a Myspace profile about her middle school principle, the profile did not include the name of the principle or the school name just a picture of him. Students of course at the school talked about it but they have that right according to the 1st amendment it is the right to free speech. I feel that what she did didn’t cause harm to the principle or physical dangers of other students merely a simple joke. I feel that for her being suspended was an unreasonable action. The facts simply do not support the outcome that the school district could assume it disrupted any school ordinary day functions.
