Eva and others. You would not consider it a joke if someone in an institution in
a  Muslim country expressed certain social concerns which technology could
resolve, and I have not heard any complaints about the shameless internet
censorship of the government of the PRC. There are many evangelical Christian
institutions in this country. There probably exist solutions which could resolve
this kind of problem, and allow students to experience what might otherwise be
totally forbidden to them, or which their ideologies might cause them to
completely reject. I am anti-censorship, but living like this is a choice that
many make.

I would be interested in seeing just how technology solves the problem without
completely bowdlerizing the interpretation.
