Schools often use [[Censorware]].

If you want to think of the children, why not research the software
used in Australian schools and libraries, build a comparison table of
the methods used in the software packages, etc

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_content-control_software
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Australia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Australia

And at the same time, improve the description and categorisation of
objectionable images so that they are accurately picked up by
censorware.
