LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — About 2,000 eighth-graders have been asked whether a school should be able to discipline a student for making an inappropriate comment online even if it didn’t happen at school.

But they had to answer the constitutional question in 140 characters or less.

A group of University of Nebraska law students on Wednesday taught the nation’s governing document in U.S. history classes in Lincoln. They used the social media website Twitter as a way to help start a discussion among the teens about how the Constitution affected their lives.

Each class that participated came up with a tweet that was later posted onto the project’s Twitter account @UNL_CLEP.
