848 Words4 Pages

Should Schools Be Allowed to Limit Students’ Online Speech? Say a child is at home scrolling through social media, and they find a hilarious picture of their teacher and they decide to send it to one person, their “friend.” Their “friend” then makes fun of it and blows it up over social media. That “friend” made it seem like they didn’t cause all of the upsetment, and the child who shared it to their “friend” receives the blame. This proves that limiting students’ online speech should not be allowed under the circumstances of having them get blamed for something that they did not intentionally mean to do. Having the students obtaining a punishment at school, would cause even more trouble, even “drama”. Imagine a kid gets punished at school and everyone finds out about it, then they would get embarrassed for the reason that everyone knew. So schools should not be allowed to limit students’ …show more content…

She created this harsh profile over the weekend about her principal at school. J.S’ made fun of her principal on the profile she created at home. Someone saw that profile and told on J.S (Doc D). The problem here is that someone told on J.S and the lesson that can be learned it to not make fun of people. For her discipline she got a 10 day out of school suspension for saying something online about her principle (Doc D). That's not even necessary to give a child a 10 day suspension where they said something about the principle. The principle should take it not as harsh, for something so little they made. Because of J.S getting punished, the School District violated J.S.’s First Amendment free speech (Doc D). Schools shouldn’t even bother trying to solve students’ problems because they just make it worse. J.S.’s punishment can be controlled to juist her parents, she learned her lesson. These kids don’t know any better, so instead of giving harsh punishments, just solve it

    This case doesn't only affect the tinkers but also the students at school. If the school district took back the Tinker’s suspension, it would be exposed to the other students which would tell them that there is freedom. By letting them being exposed to more freedom there would be a better community and they would have a better future. Schools are supposed to help students become better at what they do, help them prepare for the future, including college, and teaches students to be "better citizens” and make a better community. In order to do that, school should give students, including the Tinkers, freedom in order for them to succeed in their future.

    The government is constantly attempting to take total control over society and its citizens, by regulating what is available, what can and cannot be done, and more. In America, it is believed that the citizens ' First Amendment right to freedom of religion, assembly, press, petition, and speech protects them from being able to be censored by the government and other figures with authority, but that is incorrect. The federal government has censored press on various occasions throughout history, contemporary censorship is practiced in non-governmental organizations and corporations, and in schools, as well as public libraries, books are continuously challenged in hopes of them being removed or banned. Censorship, and the government taking total control of what readers can and cannot read is a danger to society because censorship places limitations on the knowledge and creativity of citizens, hinders their right to freedom of expression, and shelters citizens from the harsh realities that are present in today 's world. Censorship places limitations on the knowledge and creativity of citizens.

    This isn 't the first time that "bureaucratic determinism," where administrators declare themselves powerless to exert discretion and end up punishing students for infractions that even they agree didn 't contain any elements of threat or aggression, has triggered calls for a more lenient approach. Public outrage and media exposure have succeeded in reversing sanctions in cases such as suspensions when a student makes a "finger gun" (some schools interpret any such displays as threats). It 's an uphill battle, though, and the stone rolls down as soon as it reaches the top. A 13-year-old girl received a three-day suspension from a Texas middle school for a finger gun in 2010, making headlines; in December 2012, the hammer of justice came down on a 6-year-old, who received a one-day suspension from a Maryland elementary school for the same reason. That incident made the Washington Post, with over a thousand comments lambasting the school administrators for overreacting; nonetheless, in October of 2013, an 8-year-old was suspended for a day in Florida, also for making a finger

    There are public schools all over the world and those in public schools are not getting the proper education that they need. It seems public schools only provide the public with the bare minimum. This bare minimum can become very discouraging to parents, students and the entire public community in which the school is. Most Supreme Court rulings agree that school districts across the nation, and across the world, really only need to provide the bare minimum legally. This present an issue, if the professionals are only supposed to give the bare minimum then they themselves will be given the bare minimum.
