December 2, 201510 yr I'm certain we are dealing in hypotheticals because I would bet this young lady is guilty of more than just an insensitive tweet that named no one. Was she just punished by the cheer team and not the school? Like it or not teams often have strict rules about the players online presence. I support that. Schools are forced to engage in these stupid posts, tweets, etc way too often in order to curb bullying. It's too bad admins and educators can't just focus on what is happening on their grounds I disagree. As I said in an earlier post, I think the "private matters" they cannot discuss are school system speak for covering their backsides by doing something that should get them sued. I believe the ACLU should be investigating this one. Doubt that will happen.
December 2, 201510 yr "Kelley said, the school did not discipline Caley because of the tweet alone. But because of student privacy, she couldn't comment..." Social media is a bane in schools. Parents rarely monitor until kids get themselves in trouble then instead of acknowledging the problem want to blame the school. But I agree with you, cap, ACLU should get involved. We need to get this nailed down.
