Educate not Block
I was just taking a 5 minute free time to check out some of my “back reading” when I came across an article in Sept. 2007 eSchool News about students’ web safety.
The article describes a bill in the Senate, “Protecting Children in the 21st Century”, which require eRate schools to educate about appropriate online behavior! I was excited to read that it does not state to block, but to educate. It would direct the FTC to promote a nationwide public campaign to promote safe use of the internet by children. Also part of the bill is a requirement for the Commerce Dept. to establish an Online Safety and Technology Working Group. Finally a requirement for ISPs to report child pornography.
