It's one thing, and I agree with you, to block porn, social media, and other inappropriate sites on school computers. My school library didn't have Playboy or Penthouse magazines available, and though I think the public library maybe carried Playboy, it was not available to minors.

It's another matter to actively monitor what students are doing, or writing/communicating to each other, and reporting back to teachers/administrators. That's an invasion of privacy and enables worse. There have been cases where weirdo administrators were activating cameras on school computers while the computers were away from school in the students' homes, bedrooms, etc.
