CNN confronts Michigan Assistant Attorney General on cyberbullying

This ran a few days ago on CNN, and given the topic of cyberbullying I figured this was pertinent. Anderson Cooper on CNN recently spoke to the Assistant Attorney General of Michigan, who has been running a blog defaming the Student Body President of the University of Michigan. Near the end of the view, Cooper begins comparing the actions of the AAG with a pamphlet on cyberbullying published in Michigan.

Mike Cox, the Michigan Attorney General, was also interviewed by Cooper, who initially defended Shirvell in the following statement: "Here in America, we have this thing called the First Amendment, which allows people to express what they think and engage in political and social speech." Since the story ran, Shirvell has taken a leave of absence from his position and Chris Armstrong has filed a restraining order against Shirvell, who is now banned from the University of Michigan campus.
