Hey, I had only heard about the lame stuff where Google removed links to Scientology-bashers. I hadn't heard about their lovely and elegant solution. Neat.

You know, they are nuts.

Why the hell would you go after schools? I mean, what does anyone have to gain from ever going after the public schools in this manner. Universities I can understand, but public schools?

I suspect the language they are using might be illegal in most of Europe based on the fact that someone might consider it misleading.
