re: Public school library computers blocking access to conservative websites...

I would imagine the teachers at a school are aware of what the school administration does as far as internet censorship.

You give public school teachers far too much credit. The teachers were probably unaware, but the administrators were. The political assignment was probably part of the required curriculum, so the teachers had to assign it, not knowing that the conservative view points on many hot button issues were inaccessible by the students. This is soft censorship, subtle, but potentially effective at indoctrinating ideals.
