Can you support your argument with some evidence?  I think it's more due to 
the fact that there's a lot of lobbying going on by the computer-related 
companies.

OK, say whatever, but I would think that a school would be much less likely 
to be sued if it:
- implemented no filtering
- informed the parents that it implemented no filtering
- required a release form to be signed by the parents and the students in 
order to use the computers
This is the way it should be done, and it is the way that it has been done 
for years.  For example, to get into the chem lab, you have to sign a form 
disclaiming all responsibility.  To get into shop class, you have to pass a 
safety exam and also sign a form.  To watch an M or R-rated movie in class, 
the teacher has to obtain permission from parents.  I have not heard of 
schools being sued in relation to any of these things.
