I have seen schools already take steps to heavily filter content like the above mentioned bill. Blocking sites with user generated content, or other services that allow people to communicate with each other. This is the internet today. It is not just a place to buy stuff and read government approved books. People sharing information is the way we teach and learn, and this should be ENCOURAGED. Blocking social networking / web 2.0 sites is ignoring the future of learning, and alienates students. When students feel they are being blocked from learning, they either stop paying attention, or rebel. Neither of these situations are good for schools. Teachers and administrators NEED to embrace this way our kids are learning on their own, and understand the good with the bad. Also, mind you that based on the proposed rules, this very site would be considered objectionable and suitable for adults only. Is that really the message we want to send out children? Please vote NO, and Arkansas, PLEASE stop reelecting this idiot.
