No time or place was proposed, but the following e-mail was sent by Acting General Studies Principal Mr. Roy Danovitch this afternoon:

Dear Shalhevet Students,

As I mentioned in Town Hall, I’d like to bring the student body to The Fairness Committee for abusing Facebook privileges. As many of you know, I think Facebook is a terrible menace, socially and academically. I think it prevents us from living up to our values as a school, weakens friendships, makes us voyeuristic, and cheapens our writing & thinking.

When student use Facebook in class, the problem increases ten fold. This is happening ever more frequently. I do not think this is fair, or just. I am determined to exercise my rights in the Just Community and request a hearing before our esteemed Fairness Committee.

I have spoken to students and teachers who support my side. I will call on some of them as witnesses. Should you seek to represent the student body against my position, please contact your Fairness reps, Eitan Spitzer and David Fletcher.

We can do better.

Long live democracy, and G-D bless Shalhevet.

Roy Danovitch, Acting General Studies Principal
