The state of Michigan launched "OK2SAY," a confidential reporting system designed to prevent school violence by encouraging students to submit tips about suspicious behavior. The program, promoted by MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo, attempts to rebrand "snitching" as a life-saving community service. However, early implementation has led to incidents where students were reported for discussing the program itself out of context.
