An all-girls Jewish school in Brooklyn says Facebook is immodest and ordered 33 girls to delete their Facebook accounts and pay a $100 fine.
The head administrator of the Beis Rivkah High School in Crown Heights told the Daily News the site is "not a modest thing for a Jewish girl.''
Rabbi Benzoin Stock said the Hasidic school has had a ban on the site for several years. But as Facebook grew more popular, all of its 495 students were asked to sign a formal contract not to use Facebook this year.
Last week, 33 students were found to still be using Facebook.
Stock say they agreed to delete their accounts and pay a $100 fine, which will be returned at the end of the school year.
