The Second Amendment Foundation is vowing “prompt legal action” following reports
yesterday that a Connecticut school district’s filtering system was
blocking access to websites belonging to firearms rights advocacy
groups, while allowing access to gun control organizations in what
appears to be a clear violation of the First Amendment.
In a blunt letter to Superintendent Jody Ian Goeler at Connecticut’s Regional School District 14, SAF
General Counsel Miko Tempski warned, “Once a school chooses to provide
internet access, the First Amendment prohibits it from selectively
censoring access to websites based on their particular viewpoints.”
“Regardless of the District’s intent in this matter,” Tempski added,
“you are violating the Constitutional rights of your students and many
organizations by allowing this filtering system to remain in place. If
you allow the District’s censorship to continue, you could be subject to
legal liability and the expense of litigation.”
