I too have wondered how one person could stop people from accessing a site
via district computers.

While the blog produces little civility, it should be noted that the blog
demonstrates the frustration not only within the Winona Community, but
specifically within the walls of the schools. Blogs are anonymous--that is
their nature. It is this feature of a blog that brings out the best and
worst. Take it for what it's worth, but don't overlook the idea that people
are finding a needed anonymous public outlet.... (specifically teachers and
students).
Also, I need to brush up on access laws, but perhaps someone on WOD may be
able to answer this question:
As long as a site is not pornographic or harmful to children, isn't it
illegal to block it on school property? I know it would be at WSU....even
if the blog was about WSU. I'd be interested in someone else's knowledge on
the topic of sensorship.

Thought I might start another thread. I have been following the
BLOG so widely publicized a week or so ago in the local media.
It's the first time I have paid any real attention to BLOGS.
I have a couple of observations about this BLOG and, because of
how it's running, I'm not going to post these observations
there.
1. It certainly is NOT a place for civil discourse. I have read
numerous postings that are rude and hurtful and that appear to
have no purpose other than that.
2. The fact that people can post anonymously leads them to make
unsupported charges, state incorrect facts, and layer their
posts with much innuendo without having to be held accountable
for what they say.
One fact is clear from the BLOG, however: Despite NUMEROUS news
stories both past and present, about District 861 and its woes,
about charter schools (which are FREE PUBLIC SCHOOLS), and about
WSHS relocation plans (and how they were changed) cynical people
cling the their beliefs and to the ladders of inference which
they climb.
-Leslie Hittner
PS. I seldom agree with Ervin Wolfram but I have to hand it to
him. He's active on the BLOG and he is the ONLY one who signs
his name!
