Al Upton

I don't know if you are aware of Al Upton ... Australian educators will be !
On the blogs comes the sad and crazy news and on his miniLegends blog that:

Order for Closure
This blog has been disabled in compliance with DECS wishes (Department of Education and Children’s Services - South Australia)

It seems that this blog in particular is being investigated regarding risk and management issues. What procedures should be taken for the use/non-use of blogs to enhance student learning will be considered.

Just how this fits in with Article 13 of the Convention of the Rights of the Child:

13. The child shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of the child's choice. ... I am not sure !

Please go to the blog and read what has happened, and, if you wish, post a message of support.

PS

It is heartening to read in the comments on the blog that the parents of the miniLegends are now voicing their support for Al.
