``Internet connections used by students should be free from government censorship'', says David Jones, president of Electronic Frontier Canada, in a recent letter written to Ontario's Education Minister, John Snobelen.The letter was prompted after Mr. Snobelen reportedly said he'd like to ``develop ways to control information that comes into classrooms off the Internet''. Mr. Snobelen is also quoted as saying that freedom of expression in schools is important but must be ``reasonable controlled''.
Electronic Frontier Canada is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting freedom of expression in cyberspace.
