The debate over whether sites such as Myspace should be used in schools wages on. Many are concerned over what could happen if teachers tried to use the site to communicate with their students, as miscommunication over the internet is all too common these days. While many school officials are against allowing Myspace and other sites such as Sconex in classrooms, let alone in schools at all, many teens are fighting back against such censorship.The Youth Free Expression Network:

“is a national coalition of teens and adults committed to defending the free expression rights of youth. Faced with Internet filters, “abstinence-only” sex education, and other restrictions on young people’s access to ideas, YFEN’s goal is to empower youth to advocate on their own behalf. In the process, YFEN aims to educate the public that censorial measures enacted in the presumed interest of “protecting” youth not only prevent minors from learning, thinking, and exploring; they deprive them of critical information on subjects ranging from human rights and feminism to drugs and safer sex. YFEN was founded by the Free Expression Policy Project in 2002 and is now a program of the National Coalition Against Censorship.”
