Ban Social Networks And IM From Schools And Libraries

[fusionx]

If it's targeted tightly at kids under 18, like high school and down, I'd welcome it (depending on the details of the bill, of course).

I see no reason for kiddies to screw around on myspace or other community sites during school hours.

"Fitzpatrick, who represents a suburban district outside Philadelphia, acknowledged that MySpace "is working" on this. Still, he said, children are "unattended on the Internet through the course of the day" when they're at libraries and schools."

However, I'd really rather see the schools and school libraries doing their fucking jobs, which is teaching and giving the kiddies structure. Why are kids being left unnattended in the first place?

Congress needs to examine that question.
