Okay. Is there a commitment on the part of the foundation that they will help
people using our filtering scheme and the usual browser add-ons to Wmake it
impossible to view material on wikipedia from schools with a religious
orientation,
but students of way past any reasonable age of consent get past the filters?

Once you tag something, you lose control over what that tag is used for. We
might be talking about primary schools, but we could just as easily be blocked
by colleges and high schools, where limiting hormonal damage would be a joke.
