guys, i used to go to school there, everyone has a myspace/xanga/everything else. the rule isnt rlly enforced unless u go onto myspace from like the library or a school PC, and you dont get “expelled”, more like a suspension.

I totally disagree with the actions that the churches/schools have taken. It is the students’ right to have a blog if he/she so chooses and the right of the parent to tell the student they can or cannot have one. The school had no right to make them take the blogs down. It is the students’ freedom of speech and expression that is being compromised and in some cases even taken away. What is the use in having amendments if some people don’t intend on following them?

It is the most idiotic theory in the world. How, by law, can a school be allowed to dictate what goes on outside of the school. I can understand it being blocked in schools, after all it can be a distraction. But why not, as mentioned before, offer a guide on safe use of the site, and give warnings as to what MySpace will do if you are caught using the site in the wrong way.
The bottom line is: HOW THE HELL CAN THE SCHOOL BE ALLOWED TO DO THIS, BY VIRTUALLY ALL THE LAWS OF THE LAND! IT’S UP TO THE PARENTS!

i think that is dumb. if they are going to try getting rid of something try drugs and alcohol from studens first rather than blogs. that’s stupid. and whoever posted that comment that says that people bully people on blogs is dumb. people don’t bully people through the internet sillly unless it’s on AIM or Yahoo Messenger or MSN messenger. i think trying to limit a students right to what kinds of privacy they want is dumb. and it would never work because people don’t follow rulesl ike that.

i think the whole thing about tell us students what we can and can not do OUTSIDE of school is stupid. i play volleyball and i recently got in trouble for stuff on not only my page but other pages and i had to run my butt off for it and i think its stupid. i understand that you should still respect people and shit but to have the coaches go and try and catch people is gay. they are going out of their way to catch us, how is this fair? we arent posting anything while we are in school, so how can we get in trouble???

Some people say and think very bad things.
So when my child starts to speak or think, I shut him up real quick.

High schoolers should spend their time doing things more constructive than thinking or speaking such drivel.

They can’t block free speech no matter who they are.

I find that I must agree. My school in Hong Kong, also a private school tried to ban some xanga sites. Unfortunately they succeeded. But there is no law in Hong Kong that says the school cannot do this. I must sadly agree with Marge. After all, we did say some pretty bad things about the school, inclusive of some pretty bad teachers
