The Internet is nothing more, nor less, than a pathway to communicate with the entire world. Acceptable use of this mode of communication is the same as an acceptable use of any mode of communication, including face-to-face speech.

Defamatory, threatening, racially and ethnically offensive, or sexually harassing language is not only impolite and improper, but it is also illegal. In addition, any intentional actions improperly restricting or inhibiting other members from using and enjoying the Internet service, or intentionally interrupting, delaying, or overburdening the network is illegal, and carries potentially serious civil and criminal penalties for the offender. Finally, the transmission of any materials, information, or software protected by copyright or other ownership rights is in violation of state and federal laws. Users of our network and technology expressly agree not to engage in any of the activities outlined and will be sent home in the first few weeks of school to be signed.  See Policy G11 for more details.
