Blocking software Complexities of blocking software

[Tom Ross <tross@AITKIN.K12.MN.US>]

In reference to Brigid's discussion on password authority to override a site. Folks 
we really need to discuss this issue. It appears many Network Administrators are 
not giving Media Specialist on site access to over-riding blocked sites. This is 
ludricrus. Either a Media Specialist is qualified to evaluate the site at the time 
of need or the school district should get one that is. I believe this is a good 
example of Network Administrators building their own kingdoms and controling 
everybody else's lives. Many Network Administrators are not even educators and have 
no idea what the actual need is, but still try to control every educators 
classroom. This ought not to be. Local control should be Mandated. What do you 
think folks?
