Absolutely not, never, no way, no how. If you'd like to set up your own
Censorpedia.org which includes all completely-non-"offensive" content from
Wikipedia, be our guest. I don't think you'll have more than about 50 pages,
though. :)
Seriously, if your school's anti-knowledge policy is that draconian, they
probably would be horrified at the very *idea* of Wikipedia and would block
it as dangerous -- since anyone can edit it, clearly there will be sexual
predators trying to find children. :P
Complain to the school board about their illegal prior restraint censorship.
Find some respectable adults who actually care about education (not just
keeping kids intellectually isolated and "safe" until they turn 18) and
convince them to run for school board next election.

Disk space is not the issue so much, just the time & effort factor of
