Twice now, I have tried to post my dissent to the idea that facebook is our evil enemy on the 2 jewish web sites which are discussing how it is being banned by the ultra religious in their schools.
Whereby I do agree that even the 13 year old minimum is a little early to be on facebook, still, at 16, it should be fair for anyone to use this service.
They assert that it is an affront to modesty.
Do people post nude images of themselves online?
I am going to suggest that the facts are that Judaism does not promote self-suffication.
And by mandating that you must cancel your own facebook account, this amounts to self- suffication to me.
Either way, this amounts to a lack of honesty on the part of the school administers to deal with the future and the way that we live our lives today.
And basically what they are removing from the children's experiences are the liklihood that the children will have more friends and memories.
