The Camdenton R-III School District鈥檚 custom-built filtering software relies on a database of websites that has a viewpoint-discriminatory category called 鈥渟exuality,鈥� which blocks all LGBT-supportive information, including many websites that are not sexually explicit in any way. The filter does, however, allow students to view anti-LGBT sites. After the 老澳门开奖结果 contacted the district to inform the district that the sexuality filter was unconstitutionally blocking access to four websites with anti-bullying information and other resources for student gay-straight alliances, the district unblocked those four specific websites but refused to reconfigure its software to remove the broader problem. As a result, hundreds of other LGBT websites remain blocked, including those of our plaintiffs.

Our lawsuit argues that the district must either unblock the discriminatory 鈥渟exuality鈥� filter or obtain other filtering software that is capable of filtering content in a viewpoint-neutral manner.

STATUS: VICTORY! In February 2012, a federal judge ordered the school district to stop using the discriminatory filter. In March 2012, the district agreed in a settlement to stop blocking pro-LGBT sites, submit to monitoring for 18 months to confirm compliance and pay $125,000 in legal fees and costs.
