Schools have a right to censor what they believe their students should not be opening during/at school. For example, game-related sites (although game-related news sites shouldn't be blocked), pornographic content, and violent videos. However, it should only really be limited to those such things. Any forums or discussions with regards to political and controversial topics shouldn't be banned, as it is a source of information, and the school shouldn't deny information to the student. Also, no video on Youtube should be restricted, as it is on Youtube, which already has a decently strict policy on what you can upload. Anything you can find on Youtube, you should be allowed to view. Although there is the argument of "there are a lot of videos on youtube unrelated to school", however, by using the restriction, information and videos on Youtube that might be useful for the students could also be blocked as a result. Keep in mind, there are billions of videos on Youtube, and millions are uploaded each day.
An example of censorship hindering students can be seen in the case of students trying to study for the AP Biology Exam, but were unable to access the necessary information (Source C). Censorship in schools should be less strict, like any sort of news sites shouldn't be blocked, for example, a gaming-related news site. Sure it's gaming-related and unrelated to school, however it's really just news that's related to gaming, nothing harmful, but something the student should be able to access if he desired to. Also, the fact that schools can selectively censor things based on their point of view and how they think the students should see the internet is wrong (Source A). If schools just decided what can and can't be viewed on its internet, students could be subject to bias from the school and overbearing censorship. Lastly, the censorship that schools do should really have a clear and precise criteria on what to censor. Just because a website is named a bit off/wrongly, it shouldn't be blocked (Source C).

I think that Comparison & Contrast would be the best to use in order to present the evidence.
