schools, libraries, and museums are exempt from state pornography laws.

Then why are there net nannies or whatever on school computers?

Silly FReeper. That's an easy one. You wouldn't want kids to have access to right wing political sites or religious sites now would you? Why, that would be the same thing as indoctrinating them in hate speech. < /sarcasm >

Actually, that isn't far off. I had an experience a couple of years ago where a friend and I went into a library and she was unable to do a search on their filtered computers using either "catholic" or "Jesus". When we questioned this, the librarian said that the filters blocked access to material that might be deemed unsuitable for children. My question is; "who designs this software? Who is making the decision of what is and is not appropriate for children?" We should be very concerned outraged to action on this kind of hypocrisy. It isn't that hard to see what is happening for one who has eyes to see.
