SW Virginia School Taking On Bulleying With Anonymous Email

Let's here it for "common sense!" A south-western Virgina high school has implemented a new program to tamp down on cases of cyber-bullying.  Kids and parents can use Facebook, an email, or fill out a form on the school's website to report concerns. If they prefer, they can do it anonymously. The initiative is called the "Safe Share" web program.

Officials have high hopes that it will be effective, because the reporting can be done anonymously.

A direct quote from TJ Slaughter, School Safety Coordinator was, "A lot of times they want to pass along information, but they don't know who to give the information to or they're afraid to pass along the information for fear of retaliation." This method of conveying information, that could help a kid or save a life, can now be communicated without the fear of getting in touble or getting caught in the middle.

Silent Sender applauds the Martinsville City Schools for their common sense approach to making the disemination of sensitive information easier and safer for the kids in their communities. Being able to send an an anonymous email or anonymous message is the key to getting more people to come forward.

Anonymous Facebook Goup Gunning For CNU President's Resignation

A Facebook page calling for the firing of Christopher Newport University President Paul Trible has been created by an anonymous user. It seems that the creator of the page is revealing (while not substantiated) the faculty’s intentions to move ahead with a vote of no confidence against Trible and Provost Mark Padilla. It is important to understand that a vote of no confidence by faculty members does not necessarily lead to resignation, instead it signals the faculty’s opposition to their leadership and agenda. At the very least, an embarrassing attack.

Facebook has proven once again it has a powerful voice. Similar to what we saw several weeks back with a Facebook group of anonymous followers referred to as the “Honour Revloution” (calling for citizens of Gaza to take to the streets and protest with the aim of toppling the government); this new group is empowered by anonymity. The anonymous members can voice their opinions and influence public opinion without the fear of retribution or personal attacks. The name of the Facebook page is “Christopher Newport-Faculty”.

This manner of communicating anonymously is becoming more and more common. As people realize the great power they have through anonymity they flock to social networking sites and the media to reveal opinions, secrets and scandals. While some prefer to send an anonymous message or simply hide behind an anonymous social profile, others still rely on the old tried and true method of sending an anonymous letter.

Biddy Basketball Saved By Anonymous Donation

Hard times have come to the Salvation Army and that means cutting back on programs for kids. Yes, I know it’s hard to believe- but even “red kettle” gang is making tough decisions that are going to affect our communities. The Salvation Army sponsored Biddy Basketball program in Wichita Kansas is being dropped so the organization can focus on other charitable services.

This popular program has been teaching kids not only the fundamentals of basketball; but more importantly, teamwork. This is why parents of team members have stepped in to try and save the program. Through their collaborative efforts they have secured an anonymous donor that may be able to partially or wholly fund the program and keep it afloat for at least another year. The long-term goal is to keep the price of an entire season very low.

This is another exceptional story of anonymity at its best. Whether it is an anonymous donation or sending an anonymous message to someone in need- anonymity continues to severe as an important tool for affecting change.
