Students and parents are demanding Metro Nashville's public schools stop blocking access to Web sites about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues. They complained to the American Civil Liberties Union, which on Wednesday gave Metro and Knox County schools an April 29 deadline to announce plans to open access to the non-sexual sites. A letter to the districts threatened lawsuits if they don't comply.So (in order not to discriminate) should we also allow hetero access to sites for "students struggling with these issues"? Let's just give the whole school access to "non-sexual" websites. Isn't that what we do now?
