In a
blatant attempt to suppress free speech comes this almost unbelievable news.
Keep in mind that the high school in question below is a public high
school that is suppressing legitimate educational research sources for its
students and it's only suppressing websites with conservative information.
How much more authoritarian can this practice be? Think liberal
thought control. If students are only exposed to one ideological point of view
at the high school level, which way do you think they will lean after this not
so subtle liberal mind control act?
Andrew Lampart, a senior at Nonnewaug High School, discovered that he couldn’t get on the National Rifle Association’s website while on campus as he was doing research for a classroom debate on gun control in May.
“So, I went over to the other side,” Lampart told WTIC. “And I went over on sites such as Moms Demand Action or Newtown Action Alliance and I could get on these websites but not the others.”
The 18-year-old decided to investigate further by broadening his search terms to political parties in Connecticut.
“I immediately found out that the State Democrat website was unblocked but the State GOP website was blocked,” Lampart said.
The student took it a step further and looked at websites focusing on abortion issues and religion. He discovered that “right-to-life” groups were blocked by the firewall but that Planned Parenthood and Pro-Choice America weren’t.
Lampart even tried to explore websites like Christianity.com and the Vatican’s site but they were both blocked. However, Islam-guide.com was not blocked.
