Wow. Which HRCS is this?[/quote]

Probably Basis - two years ago. The school never had one - it was the parent organization's. They parent org ended it because some people were posting very specific things about other people's children and discipline issues. They tried moderating it for a while but that just caused other complaints about censorship on the part of the moderators.

There's a small, unofficial one now but it isn't very active.

Absolutely disagree.  The straw that apparently broke the camel's back at BASIS was a negative posting about the conduct of the (then) Head of School.  No one posted (to the best of my knowledge) about other children.  The unofficial one should [b]BASIS parents please listen[/b]  be more active, but unfortunately the administrators are members.

This absolutely has a key role in personal censorship and the lack of real discussion.  The prior group had terms that were unacceptable - don't criticize a teacher by name etc.  Since the admin are members of the new group, and we know that BASIS pushes kids out, free speech is automatically censored on this list serve which, as the PP noted, is not very active to begin with.[/quote]
