UM: Cyber Bullying

By

WXYZ Channel 7 Action News, Detroit’s ABC affiliate, reports that state assistant attorney general Andrew Shirvell has been using his blog to attack Chris Armstrong, president of the Michigan Student Assembly, criticizing him for his openly gay lifestyle and “radical homosexual agenda.” The report quotes a cyber bullying expert who states that the blog meets the definition of cyber bullying. Attorney general Mike Cox issued a statement saying “I don’t agree with Mr. Shirvell’s tactics, his judgment, or his word choice but nonetheless I recognize his non-work related blog is protected by our Constitution.” [Source]
