Internet Filters Shouldn't Bring Religious Bias

As schools increasingly turn to online resources the question of filtering inappropriate resources is inevitable. But, according to the author, some schools, by turning over filtering to private agencies, are transgressing the limits established by the various book banning cases of the last few decades. "School boards may not remove books from school library shelves simply because they dislike the ideas contained in those books and seek by their removal to 'prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion.' Such purposes stand inescapably condemned by our precedents." Hosted on Yahoo Groups but you won't need to sign in to read it.
