The school can very easily block the 'baddog' website just as it can any other website that baddog was trying to help students get to. And, why did he have to take down a personal website, on personal webspace, for the school? He could have fought this one. Had it been taken high enough (i.e. out of his school, and into the board or education) and everyone followed the right rules instead of violating them when they deem more convienant (as schools often do), he would have won. There is nothing wrong with a proxy website. If the school doesn't like it, they can block it. This isn't even hacking, it's just website creation. If the schools "Internet Terms of Use" specifically say "don't go to proxy websites" (and it may) then he is only guilty of visiting the website he created. That is completely rediculous.

School systems are required by law to have a content filter in place in order to qualify for federal funds to support technology. Also, school systems must protect all ages of students from objectionable material. The vast majority of educational content is acceptable for all students. Personal browsing should be done on personal time, not in school.

Might have been a reather stupid, I remember my high school's ridiculous filters, but they are put there for a reason and his website had the only purpose of getting around it. My question for the school: Why didn't you just add a filter to your "protection" software which blocks his server??

What is the school going to do then? Can schools (or your boss) make you take down a site that they do not like? There are hundreds of other proxy servers the students can use.
