Description: Why schools should not block access to particular sites: filters may not work very well;. they may work too well; they may increase attention to SMUT and spur motivation; their ongoing cost may block better programs from your students; they may create false security; they may increase liability; they may violate family values; they may violate community values; they may violate civil liberties; they may define obscenity too narrowly; there are better ways to protect our children; children can learn to filter for themselves.
