DailyTech - Missouri State Teachers Association Sues State Over New Social Media Law:

A new Missouri state law, which takes effect on August 28, will forbid teachers from having "exclusive access" with students who have not yet graduated (or are minors) on Internet sites

A Missouri teachers group filed a lawsuit on Friday to battle a new measure that restricts teachers from contacting students on social networking sites.

A new Missouri state law, which takes effect on August 28, will forbid teachers from having "exclusive access" with students who have not yet graduated (or are minors) on Internet sites. The law aims to prevent inappropriate contact between teachers and students by restricting outside-of-school contact to email and texts, as long as "someone is copied," and to public sites that can be viewed by parents, administrators or the public.
