Another interesting group: "Abolish Abstinence-Only Wikipedia
Education" (97 members):
"Is anyone else tired of listening to clueless teachers bash
Wikipedia? They complain that it can't be used for research because
it's "not a source." They tell you that anyone can write whatever they
want, so it must be wrong. I've even heard teachers say that "the
author" makes stuff up.
Our schools say "Sex is bad, but we're going to tell you how to do it
safely just in case." Why don't they apply the same policy to
Wikipedia-- teaching students about the proper way to use it instead
of indiscriminately banning it. These teachers are well aware that
students are going to continue using Wikipedia anyway. I'm convinced
that they just don't understand what Wikipedia is or how to use it."
