Even in Lakewood, the schools do not ban internet; they do require a filter, and an ‘ishur’ that the internet is needed for business purposes. This rule does not prevent adults from doing business with the internet, but it does prevent our children from seeing the worst sights in the world. That seems like quite a prudent course to take, and honestly, a filter is good for adults as well; I once by complete mistake ended up on a page which made me shudder. I immediately shut the page, but the image remains in my mind. While a filter may not stop someone who is determined to get past it, it generally prevents such unfortunate occurrences.
