[LM_NET] TARGET: Heroes on the Filtering Front?

[Mary Ann Bell <drmaryannbell@GMAIL.COM>]

I know that there are still many schools and districts with draconian
filtering that precludes Web 2.0 use and countless other sites as well. I
also know that there is a growing group of people who are leading the way in
speaking out in favor of commonsense filtering. Several names come
immediately to my mind: Nancy Willard, Doug Johnson, and my fellow Texan Dr.
Barry Bishop of Spring Branch ISD. I blogged about this today...I would love
to compile a list of people with helpful resources that can be used by
educators when they seek to build a case for loosening filters. Can you
think of others? I will post a hit to list as well as to my blog. Thanks in
advance, mabell
