ban student blogging?!? :|

this is something i picked up from 7days:

Blog Suspension

In yet another case of a school administration trying to ban student blogging, three engineering students at a campus in Knowledge Village in Dubai have been suspended indefinitely, raising questions about freedom of speech and expression. A notice on one of the boards at the ‘Birla Institute

Ugh, that's just horrid. BITS is a whore institution that's just using the anti-freedom of speech law here to serve its own interests. How many will they shut up with this kind of treatment? How many people will take a lesson from this and be quiet in the face of such blatant injustice?

its horrible indeed. i guess many students would be affected coz blogging is the in thing for people around our age. if only the local government would favour blogging, then action against this institution would be taken. unfortunately this wouldnt happen anytime soon.

you know what... thats the first thing i thought of when i read that article. what if they see our blogs especially danus. all hell would break loose i guess. its scary...not hilarious. coz other institutions here in Dubai would have similar policies to BITS Pilani. maybe this is why smart ppl like you make ur entries "friends only" :P
