Take a look at what website is banned at the Jackson Public School District:
Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
A website of news, commentary, culture, & jackassery in the Jackson, Mississippi area.

No one can read there anyway. No blood, no foul
Darn. Didn't know we had this option!!
Does banning the site ban some of the stupid ass comments as well? :)
As a teacher from a different district - it is probably due to the NSFW photo threads you have posted in the past.
That will teach you KF.
i wonder if the free press is banned too...
Wouldn't matter @7:36 PM since the JPS coverage in the JFP is placed by JPS. Like the Clinton campaign.
Very Interesting. Some comments are rather raw, but nothing they don't hear in the hallways.
They just access it on their phones.
There's only 3 or 4 there who 'care' enough to try to keep tabs with JJ....
@10:41
The phones that are bought with our tax dollars....
I hope all sites with comment sections are blocked.
Students need to learn the basics of our system of government and how to find the least biased information available.
The tyranny of the majority is also a danger in a democracy and students need to learn how to think independently.
They should learn that in Europe for centuries, wars were fought between nations and within nations over religion and it didn't matter which religion won, the winning religion was oppressive and repressive.
They might also learn that a political ideology is only as benevolent as its leadership and how its implemented and how democracies failed.
They might learn how economic systems failed as well with the 1300s being particularly relevant for today's world.
They might read Paul Mitchell and think his remark has relevance.
" No blood, no foul" ???? So a broken neck or concussion doesn't count???
Paul also doesn't seem to know that you have to read to use a computer but he is living proof that reading and writing have nothing to do with comprehending and having a relevant thought worth writing down.
heck, maybe the district will ban themselves and they will all just go away.
Kingfish contains psychological nudity...
6:55 yes it's obvious how serious JPS students are about their academic performance. They will follow in the steps of the great leadership they see in Jackson... what a bright future they have.
7:03, I value your opinion.
"Does banning the site ban some of the stupid ass comments as well? :) "
Your post answers that question.
11:49, I have two sons at JPS, and their phones were purchased with my paycheck. Yes, black people work, and some of us earn very good salaries. Yes, my husband and I earn enough to pay for I-phones and cars and college.
JPS's Wi-Fi is only available to the kids with school issued laptops. Those laptops are only for classwork and homework. I read this site periodically, and I have never seen anything educational on it. It's mostly made up of people bashing Jackson or Madison or bashing black people. Why would a high school kid need to read anything on this site?.
12:48, JJ posts plenty of educational content for people that want to be informed about the business of the city of Jackson and the corruption of local officials. This should be very important to people that live and work in Jackson, even if they are in Jackson's failing schools.
Of course, there is another independent source of "news" about Jackson and it is mostly false.
FYI, Kingfish has lived in Jackson for as long as I have known him. (My personal opinion of why he lives in Jackson is that is because he is a lunatic.)
