It's not just education that is filtering internet access.. Most
companies / corporations / government offices where I know people who
work are doing it to.. IMO, you get what you get... it's up to the
people providing the access to determine what they provide.

Not really anything new - k12 school libraries don't stock every book
know to man, just the ones the powers-that-be feel appropriate for their
students...

Public and private schools are in fact web censored (aka whitewashed),
perhaps more so right here in the USA than in China or most any other
country. Even universities are moderated to death and otherwise
severely limited as to students accessing the full public scope of
whatever Yahoo and Google has to offer, and no doubt MSN plays right
along with this ruse.

I see “Internet4Classrooms” has their Google search disabled, as do
most every public and private school www-page, as having excluded or
blocked internet access to otherwise public accessible information,
and here I’d thought communism was a dead horse. (think again)

I bet teachers or their assistance staff would get fired if caught
reading Usenet/newsgroups.
