[Steve's note:  One may, at first blush, think the word "censorship"
harsh - but we are talking about practically the only people (AFAIK)
that provide subtitles.  If they don't provide it, it doesn't happen -
and there are deaf kids, too.]

The Bush administration has decided that people with bad hearing have
bad judgment, too, and need special guidance from the federal government.

So the U.S. Department of Education is declaring about 200 television
programs inappropriate for closed- captioning and denying federal
grant
requests to make them accessible to the hearing-impaired.
