The Houston Chronicle has reported that access to an Internet blog critical of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District's chancellor is being barred from campus computers, a lawsuit says.
Richard C. McDuffee filed suit in a Montgomery County district court claiming a violation of free speech. McDuffee is asking the college district not be allowed to deny access to the blog that criticizes Chancellor Richard Carpenter.
The blog, richardcarpenterwatch.blogspot.com reports on Carpenter's conduct while chancellor of the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas. The blog contains allegations of racism, corruption, purposeful intimidation and incompetence.
Another example of violating student rights. Blogs can be used as a way to bring attention to a problem. Perhaps that is what the fuss is really about.
