Should Schools Monitor Students Social Media!?!?

Have you ever showed up at school and had a friend or classmate tell you about a rumor directed towards you? I think schools should monitor students social media posts but, only if there seems to be problems occurring and disrupting the class. Cyberbullying can lead to low self esteem and depression, causing worse things. Document E, document B and, document D all agree with limiting/monitoring students online speech. But, in order for schools to be able to do anything about the bullying they may need evidence in order to make a change or get the bullier in trouble.
One reason why schools should monitor student’s social media posts is in Doc. E. Document E is a cyberbullying cartoon. In this cartoon there is a teacher and a principal, the teacher is in the principal 's office stating that somebody is cyber bullying him.

According to document E it says “Bethel school district acted within its permissible authority in imposing sanctions on Fraser after his inappropriate speech”.

The court was right to decide in favor of the school because “A high school assembly or classroom is no place for a sexuality explict monologue.(Doc. E)”it was well within parameters of the school to punish him for using obscene and indecent speech at a school event as mentioned in document E earlier “The first Amendment does not prevent the schools officials from determining them to permit a vulgar and lewd speech such as the respondent's would undermine the school’s basic educational
