Title: Your Coach is Watching: Can a High School Regulate its Student-Athletes' Use of
Social Media?
Author: Lauren E. Rosenbaum

This article goes into depth on the ethics of Social Media privacy within high
school sports. The author starts out by asking the audience how they would feel if
their coach were to be with them at every after school social event, every sleep over,
or every dinner with friends. Would you and your group of friends still act the same?
Would you and your friends still talk about the same things? In the article, debates
over social media and privacy take place. The big argument is whether or not it is
legally right for coaches to be able to police their players social media accounts.

Certain rules and regulations limit the ability of coaches and school officials
to supervise these social media accounts. For instance, a public school can oversee
what is being said if it is happening at school, or if it is taking place off campus but is
a distraction to the rest of the school population. For example, high school students
were suspended for wearing armbands to school to show their disapproval of the
Vietnam conflict. The school viewed the students as being a distraction. This action
was then taken to court in which the court ruled that the display was not actually
or potentially disruptive. The court then ruled that with the absence of an
appropriate reason for policing the students speech, the students must be granted
access to the first amendment due to the fact the school is a marketplace for ideas.
This too speaks for Social Media, and any other form of student communication. The
article then goes on to talk about the development of free speech within schools and
also gives specific cases where violations have occurred.
