Well I go to an online public charter school in georgia, and their policy is "Communicating with other students outside of class using platforms such as, but not limited to, Google Docs, Google Slides, social media, and online communication forums" and I was wondering, is this a legal rule and can this be enforced?
Hello ****, schools can often set their own policies, including communication guidelines. However, these policies must not infringe on your rights. Please clarify, does the policy prohibit or permit such communication?
THey prohibit such communication
Hello ****,
In Georgia, schools may set rules to ensure a conducive learning environment. However, these rules should not infrally on your constitutional rights, such as:
- Freedom of Speech
- Right to Privacy
Could you please specify if these rights are being violated by these policies in your view?
And I would think that it infringes on my right to freedom of speech
Hello ****,
While schools can set communication policies, they cannot infringe on your First Amendment rights. If you feel your rights are being violated, you may:
- Consult a local attorney
- Contact the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Georgia
- Discuss it with a trusted educator
Remember, each case is unique and outcomes may vary.
