Here's a story about a Catholic school suing Wikipedia. Skutt Catholic School discovered an entry on Wikipedia about itself describing its high tuition, poor education, and high emphasis on sports. "No wonder almost all the kids there are complete idiots" the post said. An entry on the school first appeared in February with critical reviews of the school and principal Patrick Slattery.Wikipedia, an on-line encyclopedia, is known for its extremely open policy on posts. To edit an entry on wikipedia a viewer simply has to click "edit this page." It has grown to become one of the most popular web pages on the internet.
The school, located in Omaha, Nebraska has since filed a lawsuit naming John and Jane Doe through the Douglas County District Court. Until the perpetrators are found the school has removed all the colored chalk from the classrooms.
