School Censors Vatican, Clears Planned Parenthood

Controversy is flaring up at a Connecticut high school after a student alleged that its internet filter is biased against conservative websites. Andrew Lampart, a senior at Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury, told a local Fox station that he was conducting research for an in-class debate on gun control when he discovered that many pro-gun sites, such as National Rifle Association’s homepage, were blocked by the school’s filter. Meanwhile, anti-gun sites remained easily accessible, he said. Lampart says he then expanded his search and found additional red flags. The state Republican Party’s website was blocked, but not the state Democratic Party’s. Pro-life groups like the National Right to Life were blocked, but not Planned Parenthood or NARAL Pro-Choice America. Even Christianity.com and the Vatican’s homepage fell on the wrong side of the digital barrier, though islam-guide.org and al-islam.org, both top Google search results for “Islam,” went unscathed. Each of the blocked sites was struck down by the schools SonicWall filter which labeled them as impermissible “Political/Advocacy Groups” sites. http://dailycaller.com/2014/06/18/conn-school-censors-vatican-clears-planned-parenthood/

    So what? It’s the school doing it, usually via the instructions of the parent/teacher association per that school. Each school has it’s own network, with it’s own censorship parameters.

    My son when he was studying at Uni for computer science was blocked from bank websites, which was a set study by the Uni to find out what systems they were using. The banks were the ones to block in that instance, and rightly so. They couldn’t have a load of computer science students nosing around their bank system programs. But the tag come up that the sites might contain pornagraphic material. My son was expecting pictures nude bank tellers and was really disappointed there wasn’t any.

    :lol:
