One of Wikipedia's main goals is to get it to everyone. That's why it is free, in both senses,

Wikipedia is available to everyone. So far, the threat is completely hypothetical: no school has blocked Wikipedia. Maybe, before rushing to action, we should give schools more credit. If indeed at some point some school blocks Wikipedia, we can, after reaping the benefits of a nice New York Times article and ACLU lawsuit, set up your edupedia in a matter of weeks - the sifter code is already in place.

But the sifter code is too exclusive. It would be better if we had a ''white''list, not a blacklist, and if certain articles were forked. But I guess I do agree with your point. --LDan
