2 edits | WARNING, parents:your child @ school & porn sites
hello everyone, hope your starting to have a good weekend, thought would pass this WARNING along to parents,jazzy
IF this can & DID happen here, well maybe it is time for you to ck with the school your child goes to & see what their policies & safeguards are in place. Jazzy
=================================================
Can kids access porn sites at school?
Local mother wanted to know
An Humble mother was concerned kids at her daughter's middle school could access porn sites on campus. So she went to the check for herself.
Do filters to block porn on school computers work
Click on images, so we did that and you have the option at the bottom to filter or not," she said. "I said, 'Take the filter off'
Humble ISD officials say they're aware students can access material over the Internet that is inappropriate for school age children. That's why they take steps to prevent it.
the reporter of this story
"I went into Kroger and their were two young girls," she said. "I said, 'Are you in high school' and they said 'Yes, we are.' I said, 'Have you all ever accessed porn or know anybody who did on the computer' and they said, 'Yes, all the time'&at school"
Jamil says if the school district doesn't do something to prevent students from being able to look at porn, she won't allow her daughter to use the Internet there next year.

Sounds like a thoroughly-researched and convincing study to me.

Was that a private or a public one?
If public, then the State Goverment has got the power to completely lock the access to those pages. |

And so what! If they do not see it there they are going down the street to some friends house and look there. And probably at the public library also. If they want to look they are gonna look and you ain't gonna stop it. A little one on one discussion on morals would be far better use of time.

not in ohio | Oh, that's just crap. I'm not a parent, but I'd say there's plenty of stuff on the Internet that I don't think the average primary school student needs to see. And I'm not talking about simple pictures of people fucking. |

The article is about 1 libraray computer operated by 1 librarian with an image filter that could be turned off. The supporting information is 2 girls interviewed in Kroger.
From these snippets, a news station is able to whip up parental concern about porn, and morals, and threats to children, in order to increase/maintain viewership.
This happens thousands of times across the country each year, and people just fall in line asking for more censorship on the basis of little or no information.
There's not nearly enough information in the article to tell if there's even a problem with that one school. Perhaps there is, perhaps there isn't. More information is certainly needed. Now that they're vilified in the press for being inadequate parents, I'd imagine the school is checking.
Meanwhile the censorship train is loading up again. All aboard. Gotta save the children.

But also believe that any public school, library,ect SHOULD block any type of porn,games,music,links that are offesive in language,image's or words[/b[ & and PARENTS HAVE A RIGHT to expect this type of protection for their children,you can call it CENSORSHIP,or freedom of speech or whatever, but when you,([B]NOT YOU PERSONALLY but a public school,library,ect) where my son or daughter is concerned, then you have no freedom speech around my loved one

have a nice day, jazzy
ps. its not about ""a news station is able to whip up parental concern about porn,and morals"',
thats because SOME PARENTS,have no moral upbringing or concerns when it comes to "adult having babies" & parent having CHILDREN

I agree that this is a very poorly researched and written article and it's whipping up the usual oh-my-god-a-nipple hysteria. (By the way, I wonder whether the 'image search' and the 'filter on/off option' was simply the usual Google search page; but the writer was too uninformed to be able to tell us).
But I don't think that the response of "so what, they'll see it anyway" is an appropriate position to take either, and that's the part I was replying to. Actually, that's pretty much off-topic and I probably shouldn't have bothered replying to tobicat . |

we are not talking about "fantasies",
(heck i'am still scraping mustard & egg yokes off the ceiling fan from last party-say WHAAAA,)
but seriously
we are talking about a public school/library allowing children access to pron sites

This is turning the world upside down. In case parents do talk enough and using open common sense, there's no need to worry about their children seeing porn. I've raised five, all have had their fair share of porn one way or the other (Playboy in the old days, internet lately). No harm done and all of them ended up very well, both emotional as for having a decent job.
So: those parents who dislike their kids seeing porn (if only they knew...) on school: pick one where filters are up. All other parents: sex and porn exists for ages and ages. No harm done and pick yourself a less rigid and more open minded school. |
