GEN: Net connections without filters

[Roselle_Weiner <r_weiner@SACAM.OREN.ORTN.EDU>]

I am thoroughly in favor of no filters on internet connections and support
teaching students how to deal with porn that is freely available on the
net.  BUT how do we teach the children to deal with this?

the other day a teacher was searching yahoo for information about a place
in mexico.  the children turned up xxx rated sites.  they wanted to know
why and we did explain this...but it was not to my own satisfaction.  I
know why but i don't know how to convince teen aged boys that its not in
their best interest to pursue such links.

so where do you turn for what to say actually when students question and
better, what do we say when they don't ask !???!!  is there a site for
this sort of discussion?

thanks for your help!
