In this situation, the student was preparing for a debate and wanted to provide both views. His initial discovery was that the National Rifle Association’s website was blocked, but not anti-gun websites. But the more websites Lampart tried to reach, the stranger it got. The State Democrat web site was unblocked but the GOP site was blocked. Lampart checked out websites related to abortion. He discovered that the National Right to Life website was blocked, but not Planned Parenthood or NARAL Pro-Choice America’s websites. Lampart had similar results when checking out religious websites. Christianity.com and the Vatican’s web site were both blocked, but Islam-guide.com was not.
Lampart brought this to Fox News where it has now been picked up by others.
I still think they should be off the computer at school, using books. When I was doing debate, it was an “extracurricular activity,” and you were doing it outside school time with your own library and other resources. (rant OFF)
This is not to say that, if the school is too pathetic to have books, they should be allowed to limited computer access to a leftist perspective. They still should just have books.
