A Queens principal is cracking down on Instagram accounts promoting cyberbullying and fights by threatening to suspend any student who follows these “dangerous” accounts.
A Queens high school principal is cracking down on Instagram accounts he says spark cyberbullying and fights — by threatening to suspend any students who follow the “dangerous” and “hurtful” pages, cancel prom, and even hurt their chances at getting into college if they disobey.
There’s “really outrageous, crazy stuff” on the confessions page, said Alan Ke, 16, a junior: “I think it should be taken down, just for the health of the school and stuff.” Another shows a gallon of milk being poured over a student’s head — a “milking” they called harmless horseplay. The principal also called on students to ID anyone they know who owns the social media accounts, saying whistleblowers will remain anonymous and “receive an appropriate award for doing the right thing.”
“I don’t think you have to threaten prom. I feel like there’s a better way of doing all that,” said junior Melina Vassailou, 16.
