Yes. This is an encyclopedia which covers all ascepts of human knowledge.
I'm thinking on the lines of a science-and-math-topics 'pedia - religious articles, despite their legality, wouldn't be relevant.
But that isn't what Wikipedia is. If it turned into a science-and-math-topics encyclopedia, I'd have to leave, because not only are those topics I have very little knowledge in, but also very little interest. And why are we even discussing this, it isn't going to happen.
And if the teacher or school board nukes the whole thing? I'm thinking based on the axiom _someone's_ going to censor the Wikipedia. We have the ability to do it ourselves - filter the main site, fork to a filter, fork a filtered version, etc. The schools don't have as much control over censoring as we do, and they'll no doubt choose false positives (even if there are false negatives they haven't found yet).
Censorship is not our purpose. Let the yahoos do their own censoring and just let us write.
