> "possibly restrict kids' exposure to conservative viewpoints. . . impeding parents' ability to decide what their kids see by subsidizing unsupervised access"

The double-think is strong here. This is unrestricting children's access to all viewpoints.

"Unsupervised" and "Censored" at the same time? I suppose it's technically possible, but it seems more like Cruz is inventing a set of conflicting requirements to prevent anything that might give disadvantaged (i.e. too-poor, too-rural) students home internet access to succeed in school.

Also, "unfiltered and supervised" is a Nirvana Fallacy. Look at the more-fortunate households where a parent is constantly available and they have a good internet connection: Does that usually mean the parent sits next to their kid during all homework and computer-time, and/or carefully monitor traffic-logs and craft content filters? LOL, no.

So this is a bit like blocking a food-stamp program unless the legislator is satisfied that the poor recipients will have a personal fitness-trainer to protect themselves from obesity.
