Censorship

I think that there should be some censorship because if there wasn't, kids would be able to get their hands on things that aren't suitable for them. I don't think that it should be as much up to the school or government as much as the parents should be involved in permitting what their kids read. I think that the internet blocking has gone way to far escpecially at our school. It's hard to do a project when you can't get on the websites that have the information you need just because they have a bad picture or bad word on them. There should be some blocks on websites though because I can name five people from our school who would look up porn.There should be a balance between what the parents think and what is right for the child. It's hard to say whether all the power should be in the parents hand because I know some people have very overprotective parents who wouldn't let them read anything. It could also could the other way if the parents didn't care at all and let their child have access to anything. I don't think that there should be one set rule for everything because there are so many different cases that could come up that there has to be some variation.

Hannah, I completely agree with you!

haha like I said, alyssa couldn't even get on history.com ... I mean seriously I understand some censorship, but that is just taking things too far.

Great Blog!
