(CNN) — In a move likely to earn him few Facebook friend requests from tweens, a New Jersey middle school principal is calling for parents to yank their children from all social-networking sites.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n


Anthony Orsini sent an e-mail blast to the Benjamin Franklin Middle School community in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on Wednesday, urging parents to take down their children’s online profiles on Facebook and elsewhere.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n


“There is absolutely no reason for any middle school student to be a part of a social networking site!,” he wrote. “Let me repeat that – there is absolutely, positively no reason for any middle school student to be a part of a social networking site!”
After issuing a rallying cry –“It is time for every single member of the [school] Community to take a stand!” — Orsini enumerated the reasons he opposes social-networking by his students.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n


The main problem, he wrote, is that tweens do not have the resilience to withstand internet name-calling.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
