I used to work at a Christian college in the Academic Success Writing and Research Center and we had the same problem. They even blocked the word "sex" so students who were trying to do papers on "premarital sex" were blocked.
In another instance, I was making a presentation at a local elementary school about internet safety for parents and their children. Part of my presentation included youtube videos that I had downloaded and put into the presentation. The computers were old and couldn't seem to handle the videos so I tried to go right to youtube and found that entire site to be blocked.
I know now to always check ahead on the technology whenever I present outside of my office!
