Mr. Speaker, as a member of the Committee on Education and the Workforce, I know an important part of controlling youth violence is controlling the violence that children are exposed to. These days a lot of violence is hitching a ride on the information superhighway.
Parents are concerned about the violent influences of the Internet.
A recent poll shows that 75 percent of high school students believe the Internet responsible for the shootings in Littleton. I propose that Internet service providers be required to provide their customers with the necessary filtering software. The other body has already approved legislation to that end. I urge my colleagues in the House to do the same. In the interim, I would like to draw Members' attention to my web site.
