Warning signs dot the hallways of Mounds View schools, reminding students to T.H.I.N.K. before they post.
Is it True, that thing you're about to put out on social media for the world to see? Is it Helpful? Is it Inspiring? Is it Necessary? Is it Kind? Is it going to get you and everyone around you fired, Roseanne?

This has been a week of teachable moments on social media.
Roseanne Barr went off on a show-killing tweetstorm of racism and rage.
Samantha Bee had to tweet an apology on social media for calling Ivanka Trump the C-word in the actual media.
Everything you need to know about online decency fits on a poster. If you have additional questions, high schoolers from the Mounds View Public Schools produced a series of instructional videos a few years ago, outlining the risks of online awfulness and the rewards of not being awful online.
