Needless Worry (Score 1)

I believe that Mr. Katz and many other /. readers are overreacting. WAVE America is an extension of most schools current policy of allowing students to share information with administrators and counselors without revealing their identity. Every school in the country encourages students to share information with school leadership when that information might help prevent an act of violence. They will generally keep the person who brings that information forward secret because, if they couldn't, it is unlikely that such people would come forward. Who could disagree with allowing students to ananymously tell administrators about problems with their classmates? What is the worse that could possibly come of it? A counselor inviting a student to meet with them and encourage them to share their thoughts, probably. WAVE America merely automates this over the internet. If you honestly have a problem with this, you should direct your anger and arguments to schools that allow students to ananymously advice administrators of potentially dangerous students.
