NYC Jewish school cracks down on Facebook use - Wall Street Journal Mar 29th 2012, 09:50 Associated Press NEW YORK — An all-girls Jewish school in New York City says Facebook is immodest and ordered 33 girls to delete their Facebook accounts and pay a $100 fine. The head administrator of the Beis Rivkah High School in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, told the Daily News (http://nydn.us/HlQQX7 ) the site is "not a modest thing for a Jewish girl." Rabbi Benzoin Stock said the Hasidic school has had a ban on the site for several years. But as Facebook grew more popular, all of its 495 students were asked to sign a formal contract not to use Facebook this year. Last week, 33 students were found to still be using Facebook. Stock say they agreed to delete their accounts and pay a $100 fine, which will be returned at the end of the school year. ___ Information from: Daily News, http://www.nydailynews.com —Copyright 2012 Associated Press This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.
