From John K. Ross's post on Reason's Hit & Run:
It’s now a Class 2 misdemeanor—akin to simple assault—for North Carolina students to use the interwebs to “intimidate or torment” a school employee. ...While nearly every U.S. state has now passed measures to curb student-on-student cyberbullying, North Carolina is apparently the first to pass a law aimed at students bullying teachers online. . .
The courts are split on whether schools can discipline students for parody and criticism created off campus. . . *This post has been changed. In the initial version, the 2nd and 3rd U.S. Circuit Courts were reversed. HT: Hans Bader.
