A federal judge told Camdenton Missori School Disctrict that it could not filter the lesbian, gay, transgender educational websites. The ACLU took up the issue over a basis of religous values to the lgbt community stating the school district was discriminating. This move is a little bit of an interesting switch because normally schools filter this content. And any school district that receives funding for internet services from federal government is supposed to protect children such obscene content. But because the websites that promote the lgbt community are supposedly more related to religon somehow then sexuality.
District court gave the school district 30 days to follow through with the court order and the school is considering its options. For the school receiving this rulling and having to balance filtering requirements for federal funding can be very tricky. Technology filters customizations are never perfect and this will be for sure a hard to implement to keep the court and federal law happy.
