It seems unlikely that there is a school librarian who has not encountered a problem with, or railed against, the presence of CIPA filters on school computers. My career so far has allowed me to experience a full range of experiences with school computers, from an unfiltered library to an over-filtering situation so bad that my journey to fix it culminated in suing the school district that employs me: Knox County, Tennessee. I just discovered, in fact, that a Google search for "Internet filtering in schools" lists the ACLU litigation for which I was a plaintiff, Franks v.

I first became aware of websites that appeared to be inappropriately blocked by our filtering system, Education Networks of America (ENA), while helping students in the Fulton High School library with persuasive essays on contemporary topics.
