One of Wikipedia's main goals is to get it

I
think optional censorship (necessary at some
domain
names) is the easiest way to do this.
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.
