there is another component to this. a school's reputation can be harmed by photos posted on a myspace page of kids dressed in uniforms or other identifying garb like clothes with the school logo, drinking underage, doing drugs, sex acts etc. the school DOES have an interest in what is posted on these sites if they are linked to the offending conduct.
Interesting. I hadn't thought about that aspect of it, though it makes a lot of sense. As I said in another post, my current contract has a bunch of limiting rules in it, some of which revolve around actions that tend to bring discredit on the company.
Excellent point about the school's reputation being tarnished due to photos of "debauchery." :)

Is your school rules just for MySpace? MySpace is not the only place on the internet that kids can do this.
Our school has uniform code rules. As long as a student is wearing the uniform, they are representing the school. You don't need to block a domain on the internet when code of conduct already extends to uniform.
