Students lose ability to surf for porn, music
October 13, 2006
Commentary by Stephen Downes

Not sure whether my site classifies as 'porn' or 'music' - - but it must be one of these, since students in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District are now barred from seeing it. I'm told I met the person who made this decision. Obviously,the meeting didn't take. "Beginning Oct. 20, only the databases paid for by the district or Web sites ending in 'edu' or 'gov,' which identify education or government sites, will remain unblocked." me, I'd be more inclined to block .gov web sites. They are certainly harmful to children. But I'm like that.
