Abstract	The U.S. Supreme Court declined without comment to take up two major appeals involving student free-speech rights on the Internet. One appeal encompassed two cases decided in favor of students last June by the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, in Philadelphia. The other appeal stemmed from a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, in Richmond, Virginia, upholding a West Virginia school district's discipline of a student over Internet bullying of a another student. The high court's refusal to take up appeals involving school discipline of student speech on the Internet leaves the state of the law unclear for school leaders, parents, and students themselves. Administrators still seek guidance despite the Supreme Court's denial of the cases. (ERIC).
