A Louisiana law passed during the state’s 2015 legislative session makes it a crime for any individual in Louisiana to publish material on the Internet that may be “harmful to minors” without an age verification screen.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU of Pennsylvania have sent a letter requesting that school officials at Governor Mifflin School District in Berks County stop using Internet filters that violate students' First Amendment free speech rights.
