What evidence do we have that /any/ school might ban Wikipedia? Somebody made a reference to our already being blocked somewhere; did anybody follow that up and see if they would remove the ban? (�We've decided that the block was in error and have removed it.� seems to be a common response when sites speak up about these things). Have any of the schoolkids on the mailing list (there are 2, right?) asked their schools if they think that Wikipedia is acceptable? (One should probably ask in a neutral way, of course: �Do you think that http://www.wikipedia.org/ is a safe website?�, not �Do you think that http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felching is a safe webpage?�.)

Currently, Wikipedia isn't blocked in my school. If I mentioned it, that would open up an inquiry that might lead to its banning. I don't want to do that. -LDan
