  4. PROPOSED LAW My/Our Proposed Law Concerning internet and free speech. I/We propose that a law be made which says: “Anything that is posted on a public site, must be read and approved by a board in which will give the okay to officially post it.”

  5. Individual rights and the common good Individual rights Common good freedom of speech is protected in more ways than one with this law. not invading your personal privacy you still have private messaging. freedom of press is still yours because you are still aloud to post your thoughts and ideas on the web. prevents bulling and violence rates. keeps more court dates open in the supreme court for people's cases that need to be handled to that degree. protects everyone from breaking the citizen censorship law.

  6. Kowalski vs. Berkeley county schools Kara Kowalski, a senior at Berkeley county high school began a conversation on my-space about a girl in her school whom of which she made negative comments about. This all went on in her home but the school took action in the issue that went on because they felt that even if the foul speech was not in school it was still wrong. Court ruling: The suspension of “charm queen” and cheerleading squad was left to stand as it was determined by the school in the first place. Precedent set:Allschool administrators must be able to prevent and punish harassment and or bulling even If it is on the internet.

  10. Supreme Court Declines Cases on Student Internet Speech The supreme court appealed 2 cases decided on in June 2011. one case saying that their principal could not punish them for making abrupt comments on the internet because it was off campus. The other being about a false my space profile that was posting inappropriate things that the principal took action of.
