Argggg (Pirate Noise): School Trying To Silence 9 Year Old Blogger
[Update] The Wired article kicked ass and in a matter of 48 hours got this all sorted. Someone from the government stepped in and kicked the school admins ass for trying to censor and make up some bullshit. Way to go Wired!
A very frustrating story, read the entire thing at Wired. But basically Martha Payne was writing a great blog about the dismal lunches being served at her school, and lack of nutrition, and got told she had to shut down the blog by the local council.
Hopefully they reverse it, but if not here is some good contact info to inform the council how much they suck:
If you’d like to tell the Argyll and Bute Council, who made the decision, exactly how idiotic they’ve been, their webpage is here. (And they are @argyllandbute on Twitter.)
And you can donate some money to Martha’s charity of choice too to help support her trying to get good food in schools, just go here. Good charity it looks like! Donated!
Man I hate censorship, hopefully someone from the UK government steps in and kicks them in the nuts.
