This Week in School Internet Censorship

We posted last year about the prevalence of cyberbullying on social
networks. The longer-term consequences of that are just now finding their
way into our legal system, and this week the US Supreme Court refused to
hear the case of _Doninger v. Niehoff_, which was the case involving a high
school junior girl named Avery Doninger. Back in 2007, she criticized school
officials for not allowing a student concert, and said on her LiveJournal
blog that the "douchebags in central office" had cancelled the event.
Niehoff was the principal, and was granted "qualified immunity" from
Doninger's suit. This is the part of the law that shield's public officials
from legal liability when there is no clear case law. By not hearing the
appeal, this decision of qualified immunity stands.
