I don't think I will want my kids on myspace.
However, a school has no right to keep a kid from having one at all, which this basically says. That's a parenting job, not the school.
parents send their kids to private schools so that they can expect their own rules to be reinforced by the school. kids were using their school email addresses for these pages. the IT guy at the school printed off all the names and the school began contacting the parents. if the parents don't like the rules, they can certainly stop paying tuition and send their kid elsewhere.
A private Christian school most certainly can have this in their rules for attending. I'm all for it. My granddaughters are not allowed to go on it. There's another site that you can go on but you only have a certain number of friends you've designated in order to get on it and talk to them. Safer by far.
