Re: WARNING, parents:your child @ school & porn sites
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.

The supporting information is 2 girls interviewed in Kroger. suggest you read the article again it is about a whole city,(and other cities)School districtsnot ONLY about 2 girls being interviewed at a krogers store
An Humble mother was concerned kids at her daughter's middle school could access porn sites on campus.
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 . |
