E-Bullying: Not Just for Kids

The Chicago Tribune recently covered what is essentially an e-bullying case. The Cook County Commissioners Office shot down an ordinance that would ban the use of Twitter and other social networking sites, by board members during meetings. The ban follows what some members of the board are calling “Erroneous Tweets” by several board members to target other members, to compromise their position. The board finally deemed the issue not worthy of discussion, but what is more interesting than the ban is the idea that e-bullying is going on politically. There are organizations that encourage children against it, but perhaps we need organizations to make our elected officials play nice.
