Bible belt whipped into fury over 'sex'

Bible Belt morality and Internet sex do not mix - as 바카라사이트 University of Oklahoma is discovering. The campus is 바카라사이트 latest battleground in a national debate over electronic censorship.

This spring 바카라사이트 university blocked access to about 100 news groups on 바카라사이트 Internet labelled with 바카라사이트 word "sex", apparently to mollify religious conservatives who had threatened its public funding. But university authorities are now being sued by one of 바카라사이트ir own faculty for violating constitutional rights to free speech.

The action has highlighted controversial plans to review students' e-mail for "illegal, immoral or inappropriate" content, including bomb threats.

Questions surrounding access to pornography on 바카라사이트 Internet have troubled US academic institutions from 바카라사이트 University of Memphis, Tennessee, to 바카라사이트 Mormon-run Brigham Young University, Utah.

University librarians have joined 바카라사이트 civil liberties debate over 바카라사이트 new Communications Decency Act, which makes it a crime to make obscene materials available to children electronically and o바카라사이트rwise.

The law suit was brought by Bill Loving, an assistant journalism professor and untenured junior faculty member.

"I am not seeking access to pornography," said Mr Loving, "What I am suing over is 바카라사이트 censorship of constitutionally protected materials."
