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:
“... a phallocentric culture is more likely to begin its censorship purges with books on pelvic self-examination for women or books containing lyrical paeans to lesbianism than with See Him Tear and Kill Her or similar Mickey-Spillanesque titles.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
