University blocks students’ access to controversial websites

A Northern Illinois University student reported that he was unable to
visit the Wikipedia page of Westboro Baptist Church due to a filter
set up by the school. On the warning page, students are also informed
that they are not allowed to visit any webpages for political
purposes. Susan Kruth of the Foundation for Individual Rights in
Education claims the school’s policy is unconstitutional and an
“egregious act of censorship.”
