[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids filming the fights are part of the problem and should be punished. The videos circulate on social media and glorify the stupidty as well as encourage retribution, inside and outside of school. The fights in school don't need to be videoed in order to discipline the perpetrators because there are always tons of eyewitnesses including teachers and staff. So the only point of the videos is to go viral on social media and fuel the beefs. Any parent who justifies this is an idiot.[/quote]

I personally think it’s ironic that parents who are super duper against banning books and pro freedom of speech are simultaneously in favor of harshly punishing students who document incidents of wrongdoing so that we don’t need to rely on what eyewitnesses remember or how they characterize what happened. Posting on social media is different but it’s rich to me that a kid who is possibly trying to be an upstander by revealing truth is someone to be silenced and harshly disciplined. [/quote]

Please. HS kids who are filming fights in school aren't doing it to be an "upstander" - they're filming to post on social media or text to groups of friends for likes and/or facilitate retaliation. That's exactly what happened with this latest BCC fight and with other teenage violence in this area.[/quote]
