--"I don't see this as censorship," McHugh said this week. "I believe we are teaching common civility, courtesy and respect."--
i think the administration should learn to voice themselves a bit better. how is not expressing yourself being civil, courtious and respectful?
granted, they're young and impressionable; and they're probably just doing it 'because everyone else is doing it.'
but it's still expressing yourself and your opinions of some of the things in your life.
--"The sites appeared on the school's radar when administrators learned a student was communicating online with someone who was not truthful about who they were, their age and where they lived, said McHugh, who declined to elaborate."--
aside from religion or politics or anything at all, i'd like to simply call 'bullsh**'.
the administration - i think - not only 'found out' about this, but had a hand in it. that entire article spells out 'one of our staff is one of the sexual predators we're talking about.
OR
one of the kids was posing as someone older, got in touch with someone on the staff, and mislead them, and somehow was caught, and the staff member felt insulted.
through the article they're talking about how it's "for the safety of the children," but this all spawned from an incedent that no one's commenting on?
bullsh**, bullsh**, bullsh**
