FILTERS DO NOTHING

The Google Images filter settings are nothing more than a sham. Type in the names of pretty much any cartoon characters, and you'll get fanart of a sexually explicit nature sprinkled among the more innocuous results. And this not just with the "recommended" Moderate SafeSearch setting, oh no; even if you set the filters to Strict, you will still in all likelihood get NSFW results within the first ten pages (and often on Page 1).
Adding insult to injury, the "report offensive images" option is usually pretty much useless, as the images tend to stick around, both on the screen and burned into the backs of your retinas.

The numbers for boys are even worse, but they lag the girls by a year. Abstinence education, which must have “as its exclusive purpose, teaching the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by abstaining from sexual activity” to get federal funding, has been strongly pushed by President George W.
