The principal, Stapelfeld, and superintendent, Berman, were not concerned about anything concrete. They were concerned about the potential reaction of parents to what they may have seen.

From what I've heard, Hudson High School teachers routinely use violent movies in classes, and some students say that they have shown beheading videos too.

The "violence" issue is a convenient excuse to suppress knowledge of the website- the site has scans of anti-conservative, pro-liberal slanted handouts that are currently in use at Hudson High.

There is nothing on the website listed on the posters as far as violence is concerned that would be offensive or unusual.

Also, being "violent" the HHS officials can add the conservative site to their web filter software so it can't be viewed at school. FreeRepublic is blocked there too, I bet. (Can any of the HHS lurkers chime in on that?)

Hey, maybe we can get the Protest Warriors to show up and support the HS "policy"! :)

The school did filter the website to some extent. But they aren't smart enough to know how to do it right. It is their right to do so since they own the equipment. Chris had already noted that they showed a lynching video in class that included a mutilated body. And the Corcoran article admits that F 911 was shown in a class. Last week a teacher's husband showed video from his homeland in Romania of atrocities by the communists. So obviously there's only some violence (by Muslims maybe?) that's not allowed. Or maybe it's the presenter that's the problem.
