"It is reprehensible that the ACLU is more concerned about advancing an agenda that exposes children to harm than they are about protecting those children.  Those who oppose bullying should not be bullies themselves." <a href="http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/03/12/federal-judge-orders-mo-school-district-to-remove-website-filters-mo-family-update/"> <span class="meta-nav"></span></a>]]></description>
