Talk:Coral Springs Charter School

Censorship Section
This section alleges extraordinary filtering to the point of unusability which makes it noteworthy. USB ports being disabled is an unusually extreme measure.--Jorfer 22:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem any different to me than 75% of the filtering systems I've seen in high schools everywhere. USB ports is not an extreme measure.  A lot of schools are taking this to prevent viruses from entering the system.  A school district I was once in has now banned CD-ROMs and floppy disks for bringing school work back and forth from school to home.  If it is so extraordinary, where is the press coverage?  Where is the stories of the parents and students up in arms?  Metros232 22:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If you insist, but we use flash drives at my school so disabling USB ports seems like an incredible step to me.--Jorfer 22:47, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree with JEF, and agree with Metros232 - Internet censorship is common in schools, and disabling USB ports as well as CD-ROM's and other removable media devices is common in many industries to prevent virus infections, unauthorized software installations, as well as data theft. I do not believe this is noteworthy for a school unless there is something new and significant about it.
 * Can you cite a published, reputable source (newspaper, etc.) which has reported on the controversy of this issue as it relates to Coral Springs Charter School?
 * If you really believe your filter is that extreme, you should see how often the web filter where I work censors the Sun-Sentinel or websites like news.google.com over the most trivial of keywords. For better or worse, Internet censorship is common almost everywhere now, so we need a very good reference and encyclopedic-grade source to justify why it is should be mentioned in a school-specific article.

I will decide to leave this edit in as discussion seems to be against it.--Jorfer 21:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced nonsense
I went ahead and removed the section about mold, since there is no sourcing, and it was apparently originally added by a "hit-and-run" editor whose sole contributions to Wikipedia consist of adding that mold paragraph, and two weeks later adding in "I like tacos".

I also deleted the PETA thing (not encyclopedic) and the slur against the band program (unsourced and unencyclopedic, not to mention mean-spirited and potentially libelous.

If you are going to add content, provide sources and ensure that the content is relevant, factual, and verifiable. Horologium t-c 23:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
