Eanes ISD Parents Outraged Over Tablet Security

“You’ve got to come here immediately something terrible has happened. Can you come to the classroom?” recalls Edwards.

Meaghan’s first grade son was discovered using a voice command to search his school-issued tablet.

“He had been accessing pornographic images through a google search,” she said.

    So everyone knows this isn’t a tablet problem. This is a content filtering issue. And the IT staff at eanes has chosen to takeout a long time Cisco Systems technology architecture and replace Cisco with “other cheaper assets” that have allowed this breach.
