CA Legislation Criminalizes Campus Cyberbullying

[jason]

Andy Carvin at PBS notes:

The California state legislature has just passed one of the first laws in the country to deal directly with cyberbullying. It gives school administrators the authority to discipline studies for bullying others offline or online. But will legislation translate into enforcement?

Wish CA stood for Canada.

This is long over due. I too am skeptical though as to its practical application. Those of us who have been around a while on-line have been familiar with this problem for many years.

Yes. It moves in a positive direction though, and makes a public statement!
