Can a School Suspend a Child Just for Having a MySpace Account?
What the hell? Can they do that? I mean – I guess they are a private school. Maybe you can have completely unreasonable rules if you don’t receive any government funding. I can see where they could deny students access to MySpace at school, but not at home. Doesn’t that seem a little bit overreaching? That is like me telling the neighborhood kids that if they play in my yard they can’t eat cookies when they get home.
Maybe the school is just pissed off because the name is so hilarious. St. Hugo in the Hills. That is funny. I don’t care who you are.
But really – I can’t see where a school should have control over what the kids do at home especially if it is something as innocuous as having a MySpace account. What if they are just listening to music and not picking up Congressmen? If my kid went to that school I would be angry. I’m not saying that I am thrilled about the prospect of my child loose on the internet, I mean, look what has become of me. What I am saying is that it is not the responsibility or the right of a school to monitor the behavior of a child in the home.
