SocraticGadfly: John Wiley Price, meet Larry Lewis, fellow blog censor

John Wiley Price, meet Larry Lewis, fellow blog censor

Apparently, the Dallas County Commissioner and Lancaster schools superintendent have something in common; an inordinate desire to control their employees’ online reading.

Yep, JWP, like Larry, is officially blocking his minions and peons from reading. JWP’s policy says access is limited to sites “potentially harmful to Dallas County,” but refuses (yes, “refuses” and not just “fails”) to describe what “potentially harmful” might be.

JWP, if this were the Dallas PD, or former Dallas County DA Bill Hill, putting out something like this as a criminal arrest policy, you’d call it the prior restraint that it is. Stop being a hypocrite and a titty baby.
