I’m starting to hear from educators around the state that anyone using school internet is getting the “This website may not be safe, are you sure you want to go there?” message. This is not all state internet, just the schools. Is this fallout from my article last week about a certain employee in the Townshend building down in Dover, or are they tracking how many teachers and staff members are reading the blogs?
You can still get to the blogs, just hit yes. Many have told me they are doing that anyways. I tried it from the State-Guest internet connection, and I got in no problem. If the DOE or whoever is trying to control what kind of media educators can get to, this is not a good sign. It is a big brother type of mentality. I’m sure they would never block the News Journal because they are basically the DOE’s public relations arm. But I guess the DOE doesn’t want educators reading the news that might speak out against them. So much for freedom of speech.
Delaware Educators: I strongly encourage you to hit yes when you get this freedom-preventing message on your computer screen, and continue to read Kilroy’s Delaware, Kavips, Transparent Christina and Exceptional Delaware. As well as Diane Ravitch, Duetsch29, and all the rest!
