Catholic School Principal Bans MySpace
A catholic school principal who probably is a technophobe banned his students from having a blog on the internet "to protect the children" from online predators. We live in a world where teenagers live on MySpace and instant messaging from their blogs. I guarantee no-one is complying with this order.
The Reverend Kieran McHugh stunned the 900 students of the private Pope John XXIII Regional High School at a recent assembly when he told them that, effective immediately, they would have to dismantle their personal pages on sites such as MySpace.com and Xanga.com and any other blogs, or face suspension.
