EFF: Internet Blocking in Public Schools

The EFF has published a new report that looks at the efficacy of online blocking software in a school setting. The results are very intresting, although not that suprising given that the EFF is publishing the report.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Online Policy Group (OPG) have cooperated to study and analyze the accessibility on the web of information related to state-mandated curriculum topics within public schools that operate Internet blocking software. This study measures the extent to which blocking software impedes the educational process by restricting access to web pages relevant to the required curriculum
