Words to the wise…
Do not send emails to other people that make statements like, “Please go KILL these people….Please, please, please.”
The NY Times ran a story today about the Superintendent of Schools for the Catskills Schools sending an email to her district’s director of facilities that included that very line. Unfortunately for Dr. Farrell, the district superintendent, she also sent it to a number of other people within the district inadvertently. This has created quite a stir for the district’s superintendent. I’m quite surprised that the news story didn’t even mention the fact that the director of facilities could have just as easily forwarded that email to other people within the district that may have been offended by the statement.
This story is a perfect reminder that email is NOT private. Everyone should use tremendous caution when writing and sending email. I highly doubt that Dr. Farrell intended to “kill” a handful of people in her district. The email has become a huge source of embarrassment for her and could have easily been avoided.
