I am receiving an alert that states the question in my quiz could be considered bullying by some students and I should consider rephrasing. This alert is being attached to the question in the quiz and the students see this alert when they are reading the quiz question.
Additionally, before I could type the instructions to the quiz in the appropriate text box I received an alert notifying me that it was potential bullying (the text box was blank with the exception of the alert).
Is anyone experiencing the same issues? How do I fix this?
Thank you for your help,
Chris Landis

The same issue is being reported by our users, looks like it is auto-generated in Quizzes by Canvas. If it's not supposed to be there, hopefully, they can get it resolved soon.

Just wanted to update and let everyone know that this issue was being caused by the Securly plugin, if you use their filtering solution this is where the random bullying text was coming from.
