Don't Press Send
People also believe consequences do not exist for what we text or post online, and that we might not be responsible for what happens next. That statement is absolutely not true. People can be held responsible for what they text or post. If your message causes disruption or harm, you can be held accountable. People cannot continue to believe they can say whatever they want without some form of repercussion.
I don't think treating people with decency is too difficult for any of us. I think we have the ability to find solutions to problems without added division. I think we can be accepting of many different people with many different perspectives. I hope we find a way to show students that path and to help others.
We many not see these issues everyday, as we have many great people here. Hopefully our students will be setting the right example as they go out into the world.
