Pope John XXIII Regional High School - Censorship Controversy

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.

Famous quotes containing the words censorship and/or controversy:

    ... censorship often boils down to some male judges getting to read a lot of dirty books—with one hand.
    Robin Morgan (b. 1941)

    Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
