Catholic School Bans Pupils from MySpace

Via detnews.com -

Students at a suburban Catholic school are being ordered to take down their photos, snappy comments, or anything else they may have posted on MySpace.com.

Friday is the deadline for students at St. Hugo of the Hills Catholic School to follow orders or risk suspension. School Principal Sister Margaret Van Velzen sent letters home to parents this week saying, in part, that if families allow children to continue their MySpace.com sites, they will not be allowed to return to school. The school plans to use its computer-savvy staff members to monitor the site for student activity.

The principal declined comment, but St. Hugo office manager Judy Martinek said the principal just wants to keep the students safe.

Big Brother isn't always the government. Next, St. Hugo will tell you that your children are not allowed to go to the mall or the movies...because it isn't safe.

I guess private schools do they their negatives.

St. Hugo Scool is dreaming if they believe they can "find" their pupils on Myspace...seriously.
