Supreme Court Reviews Case Involving Off-Campus Student Action On Social Media
The Supreme Court is reviewing a case involving off-campus actions of students on social media. The court’s decision will impact students across the country, including those here in Oklahoma.
Students often use social media as a sounding board for their frustrations, but how far is too far before a school can step in, or can they without infringing on a student's freedom of speech?
This particular case started when a high school student found out she did not make the varsity cheer team. The Pennsylvania cheerleader was suspended in 2017 after posting a photo on snapchat using a graphic gesture with a foul caption while referencing her school, and its cheer and football team. Julia Ogilvie goes to high school in Tulsa said as an athlete, she can relate.
