Abstract
The article focuses on the renegotiation of school boundaries following the emergence of online social networking. In the information age, school officials are experiencing difficulties in determining what tools they have to deal with conflicts arising from social networking. One conflict arising from the emergence of online social networking is cyberbullying of other students and of teachers. Several areas of the Canadian legal system that is relevant to online behavior include the Charter of Rights with its provisions of rights to free speech and equality rights, section 264 on criminal harassment and section 261.1 on uttering threats.
