31Mar10 Weve moved By Ros Atkins Leave aComment Categories: First thing

After a very happy two and a half years with WordPress, were moving back onto the BBC blog platform. This I hasten to add has nothing to do with WordPress, and everything to do with it making sense for a long list of reasons to be back in the BBC fold.

So, please head to worldhaveyoursay.com to carry on the conversation. Youll need to sign up for a BBC ID, which takes under 5 minutes and then youll be in business.

Im afraid that we we cant promise to moderate comments on this blog from now on, so its much better to make your thoughts known on the new blog. See you on the other side Cheers, Ros

Youll have noticed that there was a rogue post on this blog for a few hours. We apologise for that. Someone managed to get access while taking away ours. Thanks to the swift assistance of the VIP guys at WordPress, things have been put right. Were now just starting to go back through the comments that have been left unmoderated today. Meanwhile, the discussion goes on over here.

Have you read this story that the New York Times ran today? The article says that Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy in Wisconsin was accused of molesting more than 200 deaf boys and even though  American bishops allegedly warned top Vatican officials to act, the Vatican did not move to defrock Rev. Murphy. Its a compelling article with some specific allegations relating to then-Cardinal Ratzinger,  have a read and post your thoughts on what you think is next for Catholics and the Catholic Church. Heres an update, a Reuters article on the Vatican response.

Tags: Constance McMillen, lesbian, prom

All I want is the same chance to enjoy my prom night like any other student. But my school would rather hurt all the students than treat everyone fairly. I know a lot of you have seen the story about Constance McMillen. Shes 19 and has been stopped from going to her school prom in Mississippi, USA. The reason is that she wants to go with her girlfriend, something her school was not prepared to allow. As you can see, shes got plenty of supporters on Facebook. Even Ellen DeGeneres has got involved. Now while the specifics of the case are being played out in the courts, a broader discussion has started about the right and wrongs of gay teenagers expressing their feelings at school. Continue reading Should gay teenagers be able to express their sexuality atschool?
