Guardian Banned on Courthouse Computers

It has been reported to THE GUARDIAN that content of our blog has been blocked on courthouse computers!

 This issue came up a couple of years back when Rodney Astleford was the IT director.  Mr. Astleford was ordered to block Guardian content from the courthouse computers.  Mr. Astleford courageously stood his ground and stated Guardian content was a freedom of speech issue and refused to block what we had to say. 

We can only wonder if any other sites are blocked as well. Can county employees still download porn onto Canyon County Computers?  Can employees still access just about everything else except THE CALDWELL GUARDIAN?  We certainly hope no other sources of information have been cut off from view by county employees.

We don't have access to county computers to verify this but for now we will assume we have in fact been been banned in the Courthouse, the bastion of judicial jurisprudence and keepers of our Constitutional rights. County employees will just have to check on us at home for now.

 It would appear censorship has taken over at 1115 Albany Street by those who would control all the worker bees thoughts and reading material and limit their freedom.

  2. Your right, it is a censorship issue..
    Fox News is all they need to know.

  3. Why should county employees be reading the Caldwell Guardian or visiting any other non-work related sites while on the county clock?

  4. I agree with the comment about county employees reading this blog during the work day! You gripe about the wasting of taxpayer dollar on one hand but on the other hand you gripe because county employees don't have access to your blog...doesn't make sense, you can't have it both ways!

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.

We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.

It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.

The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
