Missouri education group will stop blocking lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender content

News release: The Missouri Research & Education Network (MOREnet), a consortium that provides Internet access and filtering software to 100 school districts across the state, says it no longer will activate a feature on its filtering software that blocked non-sexual content geared toward the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. The organization made the announcement after the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Eastern Missouri and the Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF) alerted MOREnet to the censorship of LGBT-related websites.
