ACLU warns public schools to stop blocking gay Internet sites

The American Civil Liberties Union has sent letters to numerous school districts telling them to cease blocking websites with LGBT content. Some school districts have said that technical problems caused the inadvertent blocking of certain sites. It's important that LGBT students are able to access information at school, especially if they do not enjoy a supportive environment at home, said Joshua Block, an ACLU staff attorney.
