Mo. Teacher Files Suit Against Law Limiting Social Media Contact with Students

Represented by the ACLU, Christina Thomas, a Missouri teacher, has filed suit to enjoin the operation of the recently passed Ami Hestir Student Protection Act, which restricts teachers’ social media contact with students. (See prior post on law’s content.) Thomas asserts that because her own children attend her school she faces sanctions for Facebook communication with her own children. The Missouri Teachers Association is also challenging the law. The Christian Science Monitor and the Huffington Post provide coverage of the suit.
