Such ostrich-like behavior focuses our attention on banning things, diverting our energies from the very real educational process of helping students sort out, select, and look critically at the information and the individuals they encounter in this virtual world. What is needed is not censorship but powerful and thoughtful dialogue focusing on inquiry and the development of personal judgment. Only then will tomorrow's adults be prepared to deal with the difficult decisions that will face them in the 21st century.</FONT></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/34DF0284-3EF2-445E-ADED-93C9971AE124/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
