There <em>has</em> to be a minimum level of filtering to block pornography and the like. I'm not suggesting we totally remove filters. I'm suggesting the filters block what is required for E-Rate funding (I <em>do</em> agree with this level of filtering), but not much beyond that. Let's educate our students to use the internet. Right now we're educating them on how scared teachers and administrators are of the internet. @Jeremy: I believe that’s true for districts throughout the United States.
