While I agree with what you're saying, I think it's important to point out
that we're not just talking about teenagers here. We're also talking about
elementary school age (and younger) kids, and as a mom, I think young
children just don't have enough perspective to make their own decisions
about the big things. There's a big difference between a 7 or 8 year old
and a 16 year old. I personally don't have a problem with filtering
internet access in a kindergarten classroom. I do have a problem with it
in a high school or public library...
Anyway, with that said, I still agree with what you're saying (hey, we
homeschool because we got sick of the government using our kids as part of
their political agenda...).
