Very good call on this on Graham, smart of you to check! -- thanks for

I can't answer this because we do not censor web access.

A bigger question in my mind is how many institutions think
that censorship of web access is acceptable and for what reasons?

Before everyone pounds on Justin, visit his web site and
see the age of his students.  It's not a University - its k5-k12.

I know in Texas we have a legal obligation (HB1300) to filter
net access for minors.  I'ld bet there's something similar in Tennessee.
