Abstract
May a school monitor and discipline a student for her content on social media? This blog post will explore the foundations of student speech law and how courts are trying to adapt the principles established in an analog era to an ever-connected digital world. With the Supreme Court having recently granted certiorari in a case involving student speech on social media, I will explore potential concerns with abandoning a school’s ability to police students’ online activity, while also looking at when a school might go too far in surveilling and punishing a student for her speech on social media platforms.
