SEC: Blocking legitimate websites

[Diana Wendell <dwendell@SYRDIOCESE.ORG>]

Hi,
Has anyone ever been asked to have their library's computers have blocked
access to sites such as www.CliffNotes.com?  I've been asked by one of our
English teachers but our Tech coordinator said that he wouldn't do it since
it is a legitimate site (i.e. it's not porn or games, etc.).  Obviously the
kids can access sites like CLIFFNOTES .com at home and elsewhere but I
didn't think it was an unreasonable request by the teacher since we
certainly don't condone the use of them and really don't want them used at
school.

I'd appreciate hearing other's thoughts.

Thanks!
