Principal calling parents about kids xanga site

[TDC Nala]

"If you don't want the world to know something- don't put it in writing."

And if you really don't want it known, don't post it on the internet. There is no privacy on the internet.

No the internet isn't illegal, but guess what is. Slander.

I don't believe slander is a crime, but it is actionable in civil court. Some forms of speech, like threats, could lead to criminal charges.

This reminds me of something I learned in high school when we were discussing rights. You have many rights in this country, but those rights only extend to the point where you are not endangering someone elses rights. I'm not sure on the wording but it was something like that. I mean by all means have a xanga site, write about your life, but be safe and be smart.

In fact, I think if parents want to know what is going on with their kids, maybe they should just talk to them.

Could not have said it better myself!
