KNOXVILLE, Tenn. —
The superintendent of the Knox County schools says a glitch has been fixed, allowing access to educational Web sites on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues.
Superintendent Jim McIntyre told the county school board on Wednesday the school system was working on the matter before a law suit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union against the Knox County and Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County school systems for denying access.
The Knoxville News Sentinel quoted McIntyre saying blocking the sites was not in compliance with Knox County's policy and the system worked with Internet service provider ENA to allow access to the sites from school computers.
