Should Kids be Punished for Following Dangerous Social Media Accounts? - Passing Period #107

This Week: An NYC principal threatens to punish students with suspension, cancellation of social activities, and more, if they follow dangerous social media accounts. The Instagram accounts contain bullying, threats against students, and other racist and humiliating messages specific to the school.  It raises big questions about the ethics and constitutionality of such a move, as well as the risks and benefits of anonymous social media use for minors.     Also, next weekend - Sat 9/23 - we are BACK with our full episodes for the new school year, kicking off with the incredible Dr. Gholdy Muhammad, who will be with us to talk about her newest book Unearthing Joy and the current state of the fight for educational justice for Black and Brown youth.  It’s going to be dope, so mark your calendar.  And, check out her first appearance with us here, if you missed it!
