We should have some mechanism in place where Jimbo can get up on a talk show and say "We thought of that already, and you have to do this, this and that to see all the objectionable material, so it's manageable, and control is in the hands of parents, teachers, school boards and so on."
If you know my personal opinions (which, by the way, I do not think should be controlling policy on these matters) on the issue of censorship and what kids should be looking at, you'll know how extremely unlikely it would be that I would be on a talk show saying anything of the sort.
I prefer to be able to say: "We thought of that already, and we have gone through a long and difficult process of editorial judgment to treat delicate topics in a respectful and educational manner. Nothing in Wikipedia is intentionally offensive, but of course there will always be people who are offended by something. We do our best to take a serious and thoughtful approach to these matters."
I have at times been supportive of the idea of tagging, and if that is the best way to treat delicate topics in a respectful and educational manner, then fine. But I think the default view of Wikipedia should not be affected by such measures, so I would never be saying "oh, but you have to do this, this, and that to see this stuff".
