A teacher asks ... Recently, the social networking app YikYak has wreaked havoc on the high school where I teach. The virtual bulletin board allows users to make anonymous posts that can be seen by all users within a 1.5 mile radius. Untruthful, mean, racist, and criminal posts target students and teachers hoping to anonymously destroy reputations. Threats of violence have prompted an increase of police presence, and several teachers have been defamed, falsely accused of inappropriate behavior with students. Has this type of cyber harassment occurred in your school? If so, how was it handled by the administration, the district, the police? What should teachers who are defamed do to protect themselves?
