Smile Re: "Alternative Beliefs" are blocked on the school bring-home laptops? - January 4th 2015, 09:28 PM

I have a Chromebook at home so i don't really bother with it.

I find no legit reason for them to block "Alternative Beliefs"
pertaining to Atheists,Wicca,Satanism etc . I can understand
why Satanism may blocked. No good reason for the other stuff
as i think the law only requires them to block Pornography (Good reason there)
and Piracy and i'm sure Gore sites etc but i don't think "Alternative Beliefs"
were mentioned as a requirement.

I don't think the school IT is trying to save face
as these aforementioned blocked site's are blocked only at home.

I live in a Religion and Irreligion and LGBT tolerant state
of which is New Hampshire and the school has LGBT folks (like me)
and Atheists (like me again) and have no issues in regards to that.

It is the school laptop and it is legal for them to do whatever they want to it
and they did state that in written form etc. I just wanted some actual logic behind it.

Sorry for the wall of text.

- I knew from reading Reddit that Hospitals and School's usually block "Alternative Beliefs" and so this came of no surprise and that's why i bought a Chromebook for
messing around at home so it don't bother me too terribly , just wanted to point it out.

I will search the Google's to find out more , so yea.
