Why not deal with inappropriate material in the same way that the  
government handled things when brouha about alt.sex.pictures happened  
a couple years ago.  First they tried to ban the whole thing. When  
that turned out to be impossible, they banned it from US Government  
funded sites and computers.

Since many schools are funded by the Government, this should apply to  
them as well.  The schools that are not funded by the government can  
be policed by a responsible adult(s) and appropriate policies for  
their sites.

It doesn't seem to me possible for the network provider to prevent a  
child from getting access to such material short of completely  
denying access.  


It also doesn't seem to me to be the responsibility of the network  
provider to enforce laws governing moral standards.  This is the  
purview of the supervisors of the computers and terminals that the  
children are using.

Basically, I'm saying that children should be supervised, and the  
supervisor should prevent them from accessing things that they  
shouldn't access.

Just a suggestion,
