in reply to Proposed US ban on school/library access to 'social networking sites'

It does fit quite well with the current administrations general distrust of communications channels it doesn't control.

This is, after all, an administration that wants fairly stringent controls on what people see on TV, hear on the radio, read in the library, and see on the internet. This is an administration that wants to "get the government off people's backs" but has a quite narrow definition of "people."

    Passed 410 votes to 15. Yup, sounds like it definately was split right down the party line.

    I'd me more inclined to chalk it up to the usual "WHO'LL THINK OF THE CHITLINS!" pandering.
