A California
school district is fed up with all the recent cyber bullying across the world
and especially in the schools today. The Lodi Unified School District is
asking all of their students who participate in sports and extra curriculum
activities to sign a form that bans that from any negative activity on social
sites. The school district feel that social sites are the reasons for a lot of
the negativity and bullying going on in schools today.
It is an epidemic one quoting and it is affecting all the students enrolled, not only enrolled in their school but worldwide. They came up with a proposition to make the students sign this form and if they break the rules on the form they will suffer consequences. The form states that the contract states “profanities or inappropriate language or remarks directed towards teammates, coaches, [and] other students staff…” Consequences such as the first offense will get a student benched or suspended from a game or meeting. The second could mean they are removed from the team or activity for the season. The students though do not agree because they believe the form violates their freedom of speech.

The
students feel like their parents have the right to ban them than its okay but
not the school. The school should worry about themselves and the work that is
done in the school but what goes on the Internet has nothing to do with the
school if their parents allow them some students feel. They feel like in this
day and age they are old enough to make their own choices and decisions, the
school should back off. The school has handed this out to the students, but it
is not a necessity for them to fill out the form. At the current time there are
no consequences for those who do not sign the form. The school cannot force
them into signing the form, but they can try to encourage the students to. It brings
me to wonder, “Will this work “ and “Let me know how you feel about this issue,
should these teens sign the form and would you?
