Wow, is this making National News? Pope Jonn H.S. in Sparta NJ
Wow, I was reading my google reader and a news feed came in that caught my eye. I saw something about the H.S. I graduated from in 1991. The article was on a popular web site, slashdot - Students Banned from Blogging.
Students at Pope John XIII, a Catholic high school, were told to take down their blogs from sites like Xanga and MySpace or face suspension. Rev. Kieran McHugh, the school's principal, said that he was trying to protect students from online predators. Not too surprisingly, free speech advocates got more than a little concerned.
I wonder if this is going to be a HUGE story around the country. I'm going to do some more research and post the links to more stories as I find them.

Asbury Park Press Web Site: Principal curbs kids' Internet activity
ok, I did a search on Google News for "Rev Kieran McHugh" and found the following results. It made MTV, People Magazine, Inquirer, and various Local NJ papers. I'll keep my eye out, but this seems like this is only heating up!
I just read a blog that said that MTV just did a newsbreak today and told this story on the air! It's out! National News here we go!
I want to see if it makes The O'reilly Factor!
I also wanted to see how the blogging community is taking to this story so here are the search results and I've listed some directly that were interesting. Here are search results on McHugh.
