Heck, I can't even access the forums because the URL contains the word "forum". It's not that hard, and if they can't set up the system themselves, they can hire someone to do it for them.
And knowing school kids I can think of about a dozen ways to bypass the inadequate filters schools tend to use.
Heck, you could bypass the one at my school by routing it through Google (Some... 8 years ago or so) and by using the IP address at College (Until last year...) at Which point I just routed it through a Proxy Ip.
Easy really, so Filters won't do diddly.
They do do diddly. They are a deterrent. It stops someone from accessing the filtered content on a whim - you have to really want to do it!
