Students and teachers alike say monitoring software and internet filtering tools are disproportionally harming LGTB+ students and students with disabilities.
Both teachers and students say filtering originally intended to target adult content is instead being used by some school administrators to block LGBTQ+ and race-related content they deem “inappropriate.” Disciplinary action and punishment for violations aren’t experienced at the same rates for all students. The report found students who identify as LGBTQ+ and those with disabilities in individualized education programs were more likely to get in trouble due to the tools. 19% of students at schools that use filtering technology say they were even aware of students who were “outed” for LGBTQ+ as a result of the filtering.
this stuff was always anti LGBT from the start and should be banned on that grounds alone, nevermind all the other reasons
