Social media and society

Published

THIS is with reference to the news report ‘Social media, human rights and trolls discussed’ (July 15), mentioning the experience of a woman teacher and a ‘part-time feminist’ who was targeted by her students of Atchison on social media. The victim left the school after the management of Atchison refused to take action against the students concerned as mentioned in the report.

It is indeed a sad story and should be investigated thoroughly. In order to check the morality score in social behaviour, the Atchison management must respond to this news report, not merely in words but in deed, actually.
