Australian Teachers Try To Shut Down Website

Posted by samzenpus on from the teachers-leave-them-kids-alone dept.

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'."

    Indirectly. You see a brief flash when someone who tried to climb over it gets lead poisoning.
