The school IT dept probably decided to block Usenet for the safety of "the kids".

Lol, github is blocked at my wife's district also.
When she found out that I used github, her first reaction was that I was using
some bad website. I had to explain it to her.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_GitHubGitHub has been the target of censorship from governments using methods ranging
from local Internet service provider blocks, intermediary blocking using methods
such as DNS hijacking and man-in-the-middle attacks, and denial-of-service attacks
on GitHub's servers from countries including China, India, Iraq, Russia, and Turkey.
In all of these cases, GitHub has been eventually unblocked after backlash from
users and technology businesses or compliance from GitHub.
Background
GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service and is primarily used to host
the source code of software, facilitate project management, and provide distributed
revision control functionality of Git, access control, wikis, and bug tracking.[1]
As of June 2023, GitHub reports having over 100 million users and over 330 million
repositories.[2] It offers free accounts, a pastebin service called Gist, and free
website hosting under its github.io domain. The GitHub terms of service prohibits
illegal use and it reserves the right to remove content at its discretion.[3] Users
can fork (copy and individually develop) other projects, which GitHub does not
automatically take down when served DMCA takedown notices.[4] GitHub uses HTTPS for
its connections, making data more secure against interception from third parties.
