Someone just sent this to me. It's a direct quote from their technology newsletter:
"The major problem with Wikipedia is that often times incorrect information is entered by users either intentionally or unintentionally. There have also been reports of inappropriate messages being posted in place of accurate information on
certain topics. Because of this possibility, most school districts, including ours has blocked Wikipedia from its list of approved websites. Wikipedia is still a good resource, but make sure your students realize the information they receive from wikipedia.org may not be correct and they should verify their information with another source."
- - -
It is blocked now and forever more, as far as the current leadership is concerned.
I'd LOVE to read that a parent group has formed to sue that district to have them open it up. Agreed - don't cite it, but DO use it for its external resources, if NOTHING else. DO TEACH the kids about it. But DON'T BLOCK IT!, for crying out loud!!! ARGHHHHH!!!!!
