“With leftists increasingly in control of education this is not surprising. Although they preach diversity and tolerance they eventually always try to silence opposing views. Who knows how many other schools are involved in something like this.”  Admin

A Connecticut high school student discovered that his school’s web filters block access to conservative, libertarian and pro-gun web sites but will allow students to view sites supporting gun control, abortion and the Democratic Party.

Nonnewaug High School’s SonicWALL Internet filters restrict access to web sites for the National Association for Gun Rights, the Connecticut GOP, RedState and even Townhall.

On the other hand, students are free to access the home pages of Moms Demand Action, Planned Parenthood, the Connecticut Democrat Party and the official site of Hillary Clinton.

“I used my study hall to research gun control facts and statistics. That is when I noticed that most of the pro-Second Amendment websites were blocked, while the sites that were in favor of gun control generally were not,” Andrew Lampart told Campus Reform.

He accused the school’s administrators of political censorship.

“The school is trying to shelter students from real world issues,” he said, adding that none of the administrators did anything a week after he told them about the situation. “They are attempting to influence the way students think.”

SonicWALL can be used by schools and other institutions to deny access to specific domains and domains with certain keywords, according to a SonicWALL tutorial.

Overall, political censorship through web filtering software is becoming more and more common.
