Picture a classroom in CT where the nerd math teacher is trying to explain a complex law of physics using his body language and props to demonstrate cause/effect. Charades, the game, can also depict this image in case you never pay attention in math or physics.
Without consent, some character pulls out a cell phone to record with some primitive description to mock the ungainly (but sincere) attempt to teach something useful.
If we follow form in CT, each school board will discuss, debate, and relive their youth in a repetitive fashion to invent a unique policy to ban, condemn, or outlaw this practice once it is recognized as unacceptable behavior. You don't make fun of people, we are taught, right?
Why can't we just get some law(s) passed to nip this now, rather than wait for some episode where someone might get hurt? That is what Plato's Philosopher King would do (Plato).

have you considered the aristocratic and plutocratic alternatives to democracy? such superior forms would solve the problems you describe well.
