One of our roles as school librarians is to teach digital citizenship. We teach kids about their digital footprint, ways to stay safe online, and how to report and prevent cyberbullying. While school librarians are teaching these skills, their parents and grandparents offer up real-world examples of how NOT to act online. Children emulate those they trust and care for, and that’s often their parents, family members, or trusted adults. The kids are watching, and I can only hope that they see the hate for what it is and choose to be better.
