Don't Filter Me is a project of the American Civil Liberties Union dedicated to fighting LGBT-related internet censorship that happens in public schools in the United States.
[1][2][3] State-funded schools in the United States use content-control software to restrict their students' access to pornographic websites, in accordance with the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000.
[6][7] Other sites that are commonly blocked include GLAAD,[8] PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (also honored by the White House),[5][9][10] the Matthew Shepard Foundation, DignityUSA,[11] Day of Silence,[12] Campus Pride,[13] and the Human Rights Campaign (the largest LGBT civil rights advocacy group and political lobbying organization in the United States).
[1] In February 2011, the ACLU launched the Don't Filter Me project to combat this censorship and discrimination in viewpoint that was happening in state-funded schools.
"[11] The school district later settled, and agreed to stop blocking the sites in question, to be monitored for 18 months, and to pay $125,000 in fines and court costs.
