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.
