Life in Southern California has several aspects that you can trust for good or ill: abundant sunshine, scandalous celebrity gossip, the constant traffic and the government in the law. Although the future may allow the foreskin to the city government (through San Francisco and Santa Monica), it seems that what our children can and can not do with their mobile devices while in class will be determined and not on a case by case basis or by the directors, but in Sacramento - the California State Legislature. Senators unanimously approved a bill that sexting a violation for that school officials can expel students. Senator Ted Lieu, Torrance Democrat who introduced the bill, said sexting is a growing problem in schools in California, according to AP. He cited a study saying that 20 percent of teenagers reported sending or posting photos nude or semi naked and videos of themselves. Place the bill - SB 919 - defined as sexting, send or receive sexually explicit images or video images through electronic act. "If approved would become an amendment to the Interagency School Safety Demonstration Act of 1985. But there is another problem in schools in California, Senator Lugar. He has no money and run. State lawmakers decided to do things like balancing the state budget, improve education and keep in check the governor. But as Governor Brown is losing billions of dollars in state education budget and tens of thousands of teachers have been fired this year, our state senators are apparently reducing their priorities for child care duties. Moreover, the only way to know exactly what a student is doing with your cell phone or mobile device is to confiscate and get to the Patriot Act contained therein. No doubt soon: a proposal that would ban sexting as a state legislator in California. |
