Author: Rita J. Verga

Abstract

     This article details the First Amendment parameters of student cyberspeech. It was developed out of research into several factual situations of particular concern to the teacher-members of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, a union representing public school employees. Specifically, this article addresses whether and when disciplinary action may be taken against public school students who engage in both on- and off-campus cyberspeech. Potential civil and criminal causes of action are not discussed.
