[edit] Wikipedia blocking
Warren Hills Regional School District blocks access to Wikipedia from district computers, according to The Seattle Times. School officials cited the following among their reasons for blocking the site:
Warren Hills teachers and students have found at least two cases of incorrect information while using Wikipedia, said Dawn Moore, the high-school librarian. A teacher researching Martin Luther King Jr. found white supremacist information in his entry, she said. A student researching the Vietnam War found Wikipedia's casualty count far lower than the actual number of people killed in the conflict.[3]
