Many Web pages offer children wonderful opportunities for learning and fun. Some pages are appropriate for older or more mature children or adolescents but not for younger ones. A small percentage have sexual, violent or other content that make them clearly inappropropriate for children. We support the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Blue Ribbon Camaign for Free Speech on the Internet. We believe that the best way for parents to protect their children from inappropriate material is to explore together and discuss what they see.
Many parents also find tools like rating systems helpful.
SafeSurf is a rating system developed to help parents and teachers guide their children in their use of the Internet. It works with the PICS standard. The Powhatan has cadet members. We want our cadets and other kids to be able to use our pages freely. We are committed to providing an interesting and useful site for Star Trek fans of all ages.
