Cruz’s office alleged that the FCC program shifts control of Internet access from parents to schools and thus “heightens the risk of censoring kids’ exposure to conservative viewpoints.”
Fuckwad trying to water down what the meaning of censorship is. More access to information is not censorship. Not allowing your child to hear any viewpoints beside your own or to learn any information that may be inconvenient to your rhetoric is censorship. Even if his argument is that the school can block stuff like conservative political websites and news outlets, sure, they could. Doubtful they would without good cause, but sure they could. They could also block progressive sites too. But the premise of the program is that these kids already do not have access to the internet at all outside of school currently, meaning they already can’t access those sites. Giving them more access does not censor anything.
A lot of low quality conservative political sites do get caught up in filters. But that’s because the site is shit and their marketers are advertising stuff not suitable for children… Or just have straight up malware.
