What evidence do we have that /any/ school might ban

Somebody made a reference to our already being

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.
