CDR: Fwd: Candidates' Websites Blocked by CyberPatrol

[Tim May]

Wow, check this out.  Not surprising, in retrospect. 

Teacher: "Johnny, why didn't you finish your research report on that 
candidate and his views?"

Johnny: "The library computer blocked me."

Teacher: "It's to save the children."

> It turns out that politicians' websites are being blocked in schools
> and libraries as inappropriate for viewing by children (and, in many
> cases, adults). The report, "Blind Ballots", takes a look at two dozen
> candidates whose campaigns have been censored in our public schools
> and libraries. One of the products blocks pretty equally across the
> political spectrum; the other takes a big chunk out of Republicans,
> Libertarians and conservative third parties. One Republican candidate
> (so far) has changed his position on filters because of this report.
