Censorship Controversy
In 2005, Pope John XXIII Regional High School enforced a rule stating that no student was to be on social networking, such as Myspace, with students found to be using the sites facing potential suspension. Many students were upset by this act, as some viewed it as an act of censorship, though McHugh said "I don't see this as censorship," and noted that the ban was part of an effort to teach civility to students.
