22 | Online Petitions and Responding When They Go Viral


Listen Later

How and when should schools distinguish between teenage banter and offensive language? How does extensive media attention impact the handling of sensitive incidents in schools? In this episode, we tackle a case that you might have heard about. The story went viral and sent shockwaves through a Kansas City community. This is the case of Plaintiff A v Park Hill School District. You might know it as the incident where some students started a Change.org petition to reinstate slavery. The students were ultimately disciplined, and they challenged their discipline as violating their free speech, due process, and equal protection rights. We also discuss the Supreme Court's recent decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which has the potential to fundamentally alter the balance of power between executive agencies, the legislature, and courts.
