It appears that Dell is running the show, at least for now. And Dell, or someone within it, may have been exposed thereby.

I work at a public school, and I’m familiar with filtering systems used in education. The superintendent is lying.
The law only states that each school district has to have some sort of filter blocking inappropriate or obscene material. It is up to the district itself to determine what is blocked and what is allowed. The filtering software provides many options for each district, and the district can unblock or block anything with a simple directive to an IT employee.
The decision to block sites that the district deemed conservative, Republican, or right-wing is up to the district, not Dell.
In fact, we had a similar little scuffle up here about what is blocked and what is not. The IT director kept telling us, “We have to follow the federal law.” It took a little digging for us to discover that the software vendor gave the district a menu of options, one of which the IT director selected, and his response was his way of saying that he couldn’t be bothered to help the staff.
I like this kid, though. Wish he was in my class.
