Australian Teachers Try To Shut Down Website

DeathElk writes "New South Wales teachers are attempting to have a website based in the United States closed down due to "defamatory" content. The site in question encourages students to rate teachers at their school, which obviously results in some colorful content. Now the story has hit the media, with some insightful quotes such as "The president of the NSW Secondary Principals Council, Jim McAlpine, said the Federal Government should block access to 'scurrilous American websites'."

Strewth, what else will these wankers think of next? Should put a blooming firewall up just for their bloody precious egos? Bugger that. Sounds like a bunch of whinging Poms to me.

Yeah, lets make it so that a website that offends 2-3 people is blocked for AN ENTIRE COUNTRY. That makes sense, I mean, censorship is fine as long as the court is doing it.
