I like the tight focus of the video. The music also pulls the piece along. The clips do well at providing examples. I feel like a bit more about some of the grey areas might give the video more complexity. The licking of potatoes seems different than a teacher's tweet that makes a bad joke--on vs off the clock, physical damage vs. verbal statements. I think having a bit more input via text callouts or materials that circle around these bigger questions might extend the piece. Nice work.
