Rita Kirk, the department chairwoman, says that she received complaints about the blog from students and parents, and that she consulted with university lawyers about what to do about it. Kirk describes herself as a strong First Amendment supporter, but she says she worries that the blog violated students鈥 privacy rights and upset some students. 鈥淧eople need to remember that words can hurt,鈥 Kirk says.
We will be looking into this case and I will be looking forward to her book!
