I find it odd that the filters are so similar, given that, according to Wikipedia, the filters are unrelated.  |
We did have Wolfrum Alpha blocked at our school, because kids in their seminar class would use it to find answers to their homework, but CD remained unblocked. I think that maybe, despite the filter, administrators can also go in and block certain websites. Thus allowing the education filter to remain unblocked, but Wolfrum Alpha be shut down.
