Katherine Mangu-Ward: Kids Should Hack Their School-Provided iPads

distributed iPads to 50,000 students in the public school system as
part of a pilot for a $1 billion citywide initiative. Kids quickly
noted that they could bypass the district-installed security
filter with two clicks, allowing them to access banned sites like
YouTube and Facebook. Administrators are reprimanding the students,
but Katherine Mangu-Ward believes we should encourage this kind of
behavior.
