NEBRASKA SCHOOL SUES WIKIPEDIA OVER POSTING

Skutt Catholic High School in Nebraska has filed a lawsuit
over an edit posting on Wikipedia. School administrators
take a dim view of these and other lines about the school
"It's (sic) tuition is ridiculously high, too. Not to
mention you get an awful education there. They put more
emphasis on sports than they do education. No wonder almost
all kids there are complete idiots." Skutt officials say
there have been three other objectionable entries since
February. They include sharp criticism of Skutt principal
Patrick Slattery, obscene language and a note about drug use
by students.
