What I find problematic is the false idea that this is a freedom issue. Children do not have the right to surf what they will. School is a controlled environment or should be. Most work sites block the gay & lesbian category because it is a more often than not a sexually explicit category. I wonder though if conservative anti-gay activist sites are available for students to surf? Can they visit the following sites?
National Organization for Marriage:

The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality

Pfox

Exodus International

Americans for Truth

I also wonder how many gun association sites are blocked.
I’ve found that for the left freedom is a one way street. We need to turn their aggressive style back on them to make certain that even when they get their way that the counter message is just as well available. We may not always win but we can sure as hell even the playing field using their same tactics.
It’s Virginia, so why are you surprised? Norfolk has it’s own personal FREEMASON community, with churches/restaurants etc (NWO); Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach have already done away with Counties, and took away the public records of births, deaths, etc....if you can’t find where they were born, and died, then they don’t exist. Only the person can get their own birth certificate, and must show ID now. Other states are starting to follow suite, it’s like Hawaii and Zero’s BC.

The big issue here is how explicit some things are, as far as it appears to me, a great deal is about presenting something on the web that meets the proper standards.
I have seen plenty of sites that were blocked by filtering software due to the profanity of the posts or the bloggers involved. There’s no need to use language that violates the terms of the filter, even if I do disagree with their position. There’s no need to be crude or bombastic in how you present.
Testing the filter used according to the article, all of those sites are available under high filter settings, the “LGBT” category, however, is blocked under the high setting although not the normal one.
NOM is not a conservative organization— they claim to be against gay marriage, but are actually pro-homosexuality. This has been stated several times on their Facebook page.
