MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, banned from schools?

MySpace, Friendster, Facebook, Bebo and other social networking sites would be banned from schools and libraries in the U.S., if a bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives becomes law.

Most schools ban these sites by using filtering software, so this move is very much unnecessary and wasting the money of taxpayers. The national government does not need to interfeare with this minor thing, the individual state and county governments can take care of themselves. Also the law is so broad, any site that has a message board with registration and profiles could be banned, as well as other sites that are not even social networking sites.
