Miss America Devotes Site, Software to Protecting Kids Online

For those seeking a hero in a beauty queen, Miss America has created her own browser to protect young girls from online predators.

Each site the browser accesses is filtered and approved by the Miss America Organization and the Children’s Educational Network. It also reads email out loud and can instruct kids to do laundry or homework, based on parental programming.

Par for the course if she can improve the ratio for the 1/5 Americans who can’t locate the States on a map. Miss South Carolina failed miserably in that regard, but maybe that’s why she didn’t win the crown.
