Terin are you sure about that? I grew up in Palm Beach
County, and I
go back to speak at my old high school every now and then and I
didn't have any problem accessing Wikipedia.

I know the Palm Beach County Public School
district in Palm Beach,
Florida activity blocks all access to Wikipedia, under the
"Educational
Sites" category. I've talked with some teachers, they suggest using
answers.com as a solution. Most of the teachers also raised concerns
about blocking of other useful websites, both from the teacher's and
student's standpoint.
That said, it seems that the only Wikimedia site blocked is Wikipedia.
And isn't
answers.com just a sql dump of Wikipedia? Do they have
editors
that check the articles on their site?

That's different.
I'm assuming what the OP said was that the Us blocked
wp, and not
that
the Us were blocked by WP.
In any event this is just a rumor as long as the OP only heard about
it, it hasn't really happened.
