Model Policies
 

These policies should be enacted immediately. I know the liberals continue to argue that children can get "whatever" on the internet so why restrict what is in schools. My answer to that is, what is provided in schools is tantamount to giving official approval of it. When I was a kid I also had access to things I should not have, but in my mind ,because I knew I was not suppose to have it, I knew the material was bad and wrong to have. If my parents or teachers had given it to me or allowed me to have it with their approval then my mindset would have been it was right and good which also would have made me more apt to copy and accept what was in the material. Allowing and approving it is the same as giving approval of it and that it is an ok thing to do. I think every day that our societies morals have reached rock bottom and then someone else brings out a shovel and finds a way to dig deeper. Approving this material for schools is surely digging deeper.
