I don't agree with censorship and I do believe in free speech. But no one should be able defame someone else under the guise of free speech. By defame I mean saying something that is false about someone and thereby ruining their good name.
Having said that I don't think there is much that can be done about that on the Internet. I certainly don't think that our government should be blocking overseas sites.
I went through High School and due to my age and immaturity I treated teachers unfairly. Granted some of them were hopeless. But the majority were at least just trying to do their jobs. I sure am glad that I'm not a teacher and would have to put up with people like me back then. Even more so now that students can defame me and get away with it.
