The "lack of" rights of a student

It is good to see that Bill is keeping up the fight for "freedom of information" of students. I found the angle the law takes on the issue disappointing, but then again it is the politicians we really need to convince.

I believe that Bill doesn't believe in removing the filters entirely, nor do I.

Leigh Blackall has supported Bill and is helping to get the message across. I specifically liked his quote:
"South Australia, meet North Korea. North Korea, meet South Australia."

I think the above quote really states our current situation. I had the misfortune of sitting down for a break before in front of the television (been putting in a retaining wall) and finding that Footloose was on.

After reading Bill's article it occurred to me that the government is really taking on a similar view to the priest. The priest’s daughter and "close male friend" are fighting the good fight to have dances allowed for their prom (dance).

Maybe we should tackle the situation in a similar way, quote them various passages from their own documentation and campaign to both the department and various groups apposing this change (i.e. the church) demonstrating how the approach that we are suggesting would better protect the students in the longer term....

(ohh yeah and you need to "let go" of the teachers and trust that the education you have given them will lead them down the right path :-) )
