Schools block most of the web on student laptops

Posted on February 15, 2010 and seen 1072 times

Students at Ben Franklin Jr. High in Stevens Point are upset that school district provided laptops block social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, chat rooms, et al.

One student was quoted as saying ""I think that we should at least be able to use stuff like chat rooms. You can't even look up music,"

**Opinion: If the kids are getting freebie computers from the school, they have no room to complain that they cannot be used for anything other than school work.

The two arrested for allegedly beating the laptop thief are Tidane Ahmed, 21, and Diallo Ahmed, 22, Madison police reported.

The alleged thief, Daniel Berg, 25, also was taken to jail on a probation violation after he was released from a local hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The bizarre turn of events played out at about 8 p.m. Thursday at the Equinox apartments, 409 W. Gorham St.

"The victim (Berg) had stolen a laptop computer from the suspects," said Lt. Joey Skenandore in the incident report. "The suspects located the victim on State Street and brought him back to their apartment, where they beat him for several hours."
