Student speech on the Internet, cyber speech, which occurs while off-campus is a growing concern for K-12 public school officials. Parents and students have claimed that First Amendment violations occur when school officials discipline students for their speech occurring off-campus on the Internet using a personal computer or personal Internet services. Courts vary on the applicable legal standard for cases of off-campus student Internet speech, since no specific U.S. Supreme court ruling governs the question. The author includes a recommended framework for addressing off-campus student cyber speech based upon the database of cases studied.--[book cover]
