Blogspot unblocked in China
Blogspot unblocked in China (Via The Thinking Stick.) Jeff Utecht posted on a real milestone… it seems that Blogger is unblocked in China! Meanwhile, our house of representatives passed a bill 410 to 15 that would very likely block Blogger in any schools and public libraries that receive federal funds.
In the light of Thomas Friedman’s The World is Flat we have to consider the ramifications when China is moving toward greater openness, and our legislators are trying to move the United States in the opposite direction. Lets hope the senate can put an stop to this… or better yet, contact your senator and ask them to.

That is a really good point. The last thing that any nation would want to do these days is limit the ways and means that it’s people can connect to each other and see what others are doing in the world and if the children in China are able to do this and learn from everyone but those students in the areas that are “protected”, then that protection isn’t really worth much… but living under a rock certainly allows some advantages – there will always be a cliché handy to describe what you’ve been doing.
