Internet Safety Education Bill

Rep Judy Biggert (R-IL) and Nick Lampson (D-TX) have introduce the Protecting Our Children Online Act, a bill to ensure that children exploring the Internet are protected from online predators and other threats. The bill would require that schools and libraries that allow children to access the Internet also provide them with basic instruction on how to avoid common online dangers. Teachers and librarians will be given the flexibility to choose the most effective means for instructing children, but the lessons will focus on the safe use of social networking websites, chat rooms, instant messaging, and e-mail as well as awareness of and response to cyberbullying.
