That's a public policy issue when you discuss public schools, along with
parents choice.

On their networks, they can do whatever they want as long as they are not
regulated otherwise.

I am against it, but hey.. I wouldn't want people to tell me how to use my
network or what to let those using my network do.

When government/public sector/work-place issues get involved, it's
naturally more complicated than that...

How is Websense by itself censorship? Is disallowing annonymizers
censorship? Technically yes. Practically it's security.
