In summary: if you're a (compulsory) student, a new law says that all your private conversations can be read by a government worker if he or she suspects you of having evidence that someone else is being mean.
I'm pretty sure this violates the Fourth Amendment but the fact that such a law could even be seriously contemplated, let alone passed, tells you something about what schools are in our society (hint: mini police states), and how normalized government spying has become.
And of course, the logical reaction is not to have and not to use any social media account. Erase it if you have one and if you can. You may also reset to a public password (1234), and be free like MIT hackers on ITS!
