Controversy
In early March 2008, the Sunday World tabloid carried an article entitled "School Fight Club" in which a journalist exposed a Bebo site set up by students of St. Patrick's Classical School in order to prearrange fights and other acts of anti-social behaviour and also talked to several parents whose children were allegedly involved in serious acts of bullying within the school. The Bebo page, according to the article, hosted photos of minors (some in school uniforms). Both students and teachers of the school were outraged at the false allegations and a letter of complaint was sent to the newspaper requesting an apology.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“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.)
“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)
