Censorship on Internet

[Margie Fronk <mehcf@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

Goals 2000 proposes that every classroom and library will be connected to
the Internet by the year 2000. We know there are great resources available
to our students, and Marti Anderson just shared with LM_NETers over 250
great websites for instruction. Yet even with Acceptable Use Policies, the
possibility of accessing inappropriate information is a reality. First
Amendment rights are mentioned by some when blocking software or Vchips are
mentioned. The question arises as to what is filtered and who is going to
do it? How is this a censorship issue and how should media specialists
respond to this trend?
Does anyone have information on research or articles pertaining to this
issue? How do you feel about this topic? I would appreciate your responses.
