This weeks readings focus on **web filtering**. The article outlines both sides to an on-going debate about whether the government should establish national web filtering guidelines. In other words, should the government control what young people are able to see online? The first author, Juan Camilo Rozo Osuna argues that their **should** be a web filtering system. He explains that the internet is a dangerous weapons and like guns should be controlled. He argues that disastrous information is available online including hate pages and webpages promoting anorexia and illegal organizations. Osuna says it is our responsibility to protect students from the dangerous information available online. On the other side of the spectrum, Christopher Johnson argues that there **should not** be a national web filtering service. He thinks that creating a web filtering service would be doing a disservice to our students. Johnson agrees that we must protect our children from the dangers online however he argues that instead of cutting off the inappropriate content we should teach them the skills they need to safely and ethically access information online. Johnson says that the place for this to be taught is at school. He calls for a curriculum review and change that includes net surfing skills that will allow them to become good digital citizens in the 21-st century. After reading the article I agree with Johnson. There is no way to protect students from online material 100% of the time. Therefore we should teach them to protect themselves. =====
