Have you ever seen a normal person on ambein thats not sleeping? I have and they generally are talking to things that aren't there and stumbling around or throwing up.
Maybe I'm just super jaded to 1337 pr0n and sexual content. but porn doesn't go against any morals I have, just because you'd be offended by seeing two people fucking in the bay window in their house while your walking by with your dog and kids, doesn't mean they should stop or move someplace more private or even put a sign in their yard warning you. and anyway most porn sites have something along the lines of "explict content, if your under 18 leave."
It shouldn't be that hard to use current blocking software, and since you say "It may take hard work" even if it is hard you won't mind doing that.
For the most part I agree when you say
"Accessing the Internet is no longer an option but a requirement. Internet access is not only available in public schools, it is now required by the schools for doing homework, finding out about homework assignments, and accessing current grade results and test scores."
Its not required for alot of schools yet, but its getting there. I must also point out that this is mostly for highschool kids...and you should be worrying about other things than porn.
If you want to be a realist, then you'd know that if your kids curious about porn your being so uptight about it may drive them to see what the big deal is. I find it hard to believe that your 3 year old would be proficent enough with out your help to find a porn site. most search engines even have a safe search option.. and even if they did they probably wouldn't know what was going on or think anything of it.
Practically everything offends someone, the bible offends me but I see and hear stuff about it all the time that doesn't mean people should be prohibited from reading it anywhere but their own homes or special designated areas, with signs all over warning me I might hear a passage. sounds pretty rediculous to do eh? plus some people want a certain level of privacy, so if my favorite porn site was say cakebuddies.com a seemingly discret web adress becomes, cakebuddies.xxx then instantly everyone who sees it on my toolbar know its porn.
I hope your worried about little kids, not slightly bigger kids(10+).

Yeah that is kinda strange...did the house next door catch on fire too or something?
Eh probably, but there are some huge ass houses there.
