DY, being an am kadosh and needing to remain pure are wonderful things, but they won’t necessarily prevent someone from viewing something undesirable.

That’s exactly why it’s much better not to have web access, and if access is necessary, a filter is absolutely essential.

I object to focusing on filters WITHOUT focusing on, with at least as much energy, proper education.

So do I.

So, if there really is a plan of action in the frum world to provide proper education about what is wrong and WHY it is wrong

That’s an obvious conclusion which comes from a Torah chinuch.

and how to use the internet responsibly

Here’s where our disagreement begins. Why focus on something which is best avoided? You wouldn’t want your kids being taught how to safely become intoxicated, would you? (I know – it’s not a perfect analogy because you’ll argue that for some, web access is a necessity, but I agree to proper education in how to use the internet for someone who needs it, starting with how to properly filter).
