Managing Cyber-bullying in Schools
Three women are suing their former high school in Crivitz, WI, after it suspended them from their basketball team for the remainder of the season in 2014. As high school students, the three were accused of cyber-bullying, when they made a video in the girls locker room, which also included a fellow teammate that did not consent to being in it. They are now suing their high school, saying that the charges were exaggerated and they were penalized too harshly. Our guest tells us what counts as cyber-bullying, and talks to us about some of the challenges schools might face when they address cases of bullying through technology.
