Keeping Online Speech Outside of Schools
This article speaks about cases were students have taken their rights of freedom of speech online and they have suffered consequences at school, which is violating their First Amendment rights. Nonetheless some of these students have inappropriately used their freedom of speech to cyberbully peers. Other students vent their anger towards their school officials and have ended up suspended for doing so, but the court judge for this particular case thought there was nothing wrong with the online venting since there was nothing threatening for calling the principal a "fat whore."
Personally I see nothing wrong with venting online since it helps us all maintain our sanity, although I will say purposely cyberbulling and threatening is wrong. It is never nice nor appropriate to hear that someone wants to kill us or see us dead.
