Can't help with that directly - though there are recent UK press reports
of a similar silliness!  One major provider, responding to tabloid press
scare stories about Internet access to pornography put in some clever(?)
filter software which amongst other things barred any site using the word
"breast" and (temporarily, fortunately) blasted about half the world's
medical research sites off the net.

In contrast the (grown up) Swedes seem to have no problem about their
school Web sites offering links to home pages featuring what seem to an
innocent like me to by funny looking cabbages with sort of spiky leaves....

P.S. In the 1870s the (English) Board of Education ordered that the
sculptures and casts in its South kensington Museum (now the Victoria and
Albert Museum) be "figleafed".  (Now that's a verb you do not come across
every day nowadays this side of the Atlantic - it certainly beat my UK
English WordPerfect spell-checker.  Perhaps I should ask WP Corp. for their
Ann Arbor English version instead?).
