I whole heartedly agree. We do need to protect minors from these things. At the same time, we have to understand that these filters don't exist in most homes. Blocking is not THE answer.

Brian Mull on 2009-03-19
I have no problem with putting filters in place, but we have to ask why we filter individual sites. This can't be done as a big blanket over everything.
Also, we must keep in mind that most students don't have filters at home (or they can easily get around them). Education is key here.

James Gates on 2009-09-23
And therein lies the rub. How DO we define 'harmful?' It's THAT term that has every lawyer salivating and every school official sweating and which results in the outrageous filtering practices we hear about daily.

Here's the part that is behind all the fuss:
"(2) HARMFUL TO MINORS.--The term ``harmful to minors'' means any picture, image, graphic image file, or other visual depiction that--
(A) taken as a whole and with respect to minors, appeals to a prurient interest in nudity, sex, or excretion;
(B) depicts, describes, or represents, in a patently offensive way with respect to what is suitable for minors, an actual or simulated sexual act or sexual contact, actual or simulated normal or perverted sexual acts, or a lewd exhibition of the genitals; and
(C) taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value as to minors."

An authorized person may disable the
blocking or filtering measure during any use by an adult to
enable access for bona fide research or other lawful purposes.-
Brian Mull on 2009-03-19
I think this helps us a lot. How many schools give teachers the right to bypass filters for himself/herself and the class to use "dangerous tools" for lawful, and dare I say, highly engaing purposes?
