Some Chinese Netizens told me Internet censors are concerned about the growing number of protests by Sichuan parents criticizing the apparently substandard construction of schools in the quake zone. The parents are angry, of course, because so many schoolkids died in structures that may have been shoddily constructed to begin with. There have been mini-riots, and some parents of students who died in the Juyuan school collapses have signed a petition and sought legal advice.

     Which helps explains why searching on Baidu or Google (Chinese) for  "school dorm", "earthquake" and "collapse" yields that now-familiar message: "your search might be related to items that because of laws and regulations you might not be able to..."

    However other permutations in searches about "schools" still yields some information.  And of course the foreign media is crawling all over the story of protesting parents.

     Chinese journalists have been working really really hard on the quake story in general, by the way. A Southern Metropolis reporter was almost washed away in a landslide, apparently. And the Internet is bulging with photos and blogs about the disaster, including alot of comments about local corruption. But two topics are emerging as "sensitive" ones in the eyes of authorities: 1) grieving parents' protests over possibly substandard schools, and 2) the status of China's nuclear facilities in the quake area.
