Law School Student Government Tries To Ban Being Mean On The Internet, Demanding Students Report On Their Friends, Or Else

That Nasty Girl Touched Me On My Safe Space

From the Daily Caller:
The University of Missouri (MU) School of Law’s student government has released a new social media policy that can only be described as Orwellian in scope, threatening students with punishment if they’re mean on social media, and ordering them to report their friends … or else. 
The policy, created by MU School of Law’s Student Bar Association, claims the right to dictate how students talk about essentially anything: Before you post content to any social-media outlet affiliated, or reasonably possible to be associated with; yourself, the School of Law, the student organizations here at the school, the Missouri Bar Association, the American Bar Association, or any other legal association, and the University of Missouri, please take a moment to review our official guidelines. 
If you are a member of the University of Missouri School of Law – Student Bar Association (i.e. a person enrolled in classes at the University of Missouri School of Law), then these rules apply to you.
