As we approach the end of an everlasting semester, the changing seasons are accompanied by an even greater conflict, which involves hundreds of Pueblo High School students as well as faculty being harassed on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dozens of social media accounts have surfaced on platforms such as Instagram, where nonconsensual photos are being posted of students at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt [posting nonconsensual images on the internet] isn\u2019t new,\u201d said assistant principal Ms. Kathryn Gunnels. \u201cSince the beginning of social media, we have seen these forms of harassment, and to the students [making the accounts], it\u2019s harmless, but they don\u2019t know that what they\u2019re doing is against the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although some of the accounts showcase images of vandalism and public property, others exclusively target students by posting photos of them asleep in class, eating or using the restroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI heard that the accounts started with \u2018fan pages\u2019 of [Principal] Mr. Frank Rosthenhausler,\u201d said music teacher, Mr. Jesus Jacquez. \u201cThere are so many of them now, and I don\u2019t think this is a battle the school should have to fight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many accounts have already vanished off the social media platforms per the request of administration, but some have remained active and continue to post photos of students and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior Erycka Morales said, \u201cAs someone who has been posted on one of the accounts, I see how some people are uncomfortable being posted without their permission. I know that most of the accounts will delete a picture if you ask them to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gunnels added that as of now, Tucson Police Department is being involved in the investigation. No student has been caught, but administration suspects that majority of the accounts are ran by the same group of underclassmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe [administration] are starting by requesting the deletion of these accounts.\u201d said Gunnels. \u201cNormal efforts are not working, so we will contact Instagram if the issue persists\u2014and punishment may go as far as expulsion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many of the accounts are already starting to disappear from the platforms, but administration is actively working to find out who runs the accounts so they could be taken down as long as they are not being taken down anonymously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe live in a digital world where it is inevitable at this point where you\u2019ll end up in a picture,\u201d added Jacquez. \u201cWe have already seen the behavioral issues this year, especially coming from the freshman class. I\u2019m just worried that if the school continues to fight this, more content than necessary will be taken down over the bad choices of others.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
