     “[Woelfel] said she and her colleagues started to think of the web filters as a ‘digital book ban,’ an act of censorship that's as troubling as a physical book ban but far less visible.” https://dailyprogress.com/news/state-regional/crime-courts/hanover-aclu-virginia-transgender-athlete-school-tennis-athletics-sports/article_28f0ca78-3f69-5aee-a7bb-5996f9ce93fe.html

     “In @CenDemTech’s survey, nearly three-quarters of students said web filters make it hard to complete assignments. Even accounting for youthful exaggeration, 57 percent of teachers said the same was true for their students.” https://dailyprogress.com/news/state-regional/crime-courts/hanover-aclu-virginia-transgender-athlete-school-tennis-athletics-sports/article_28f0ca78-3f69-5aee-a7bb-5996f9ce93fe.html
