Doesnt make any logical sense.



And if public schools are a part of the government shouldn't it be illegal for them to block things (against 1st amendment?)

When schools blocked the word "gun" on school computers, they don't aim at reducing violence. They are simply reducing the exposure of students to words that they shouldn't be using at school, home, work, etc. However, the schools are fully aware of the current school shooting threat and are trying to reduce the risk, even though they know that filtering these words on school computers will have little effect on a student body.



As for the violation of the first amendment, schools are NOT violating it due to the fact that the computer(s) is owned by them so they have administrative rights to that computer(s), almost allowing them to ignore laws like the first amendment .
