>> content filtering is a requirement for the FCC's E-Rate program in which the government pays some of the cost of the school's internet connection.

I'd be interested to see the cost of compliance versus the subsidy. The federal government puts an awful lot of strings on financing for schools given the relatively low percentage of overall funding they pay.

I'd like to see some state somewhere turn down the money and see what they can do with the extra flexibility.

IIRC the E-Rate program is a high double digit by percentage subsidy, such that Wireless ISPs will lose business by not having an E-Rate certification because the school will just stick with polky, 6mbps DSL for their 200+ kids at a rural school.
