Hmm...
Maybe we can flag certain links as containing nudity? Then, the link to 
an actual image would not display, nor would the image load if a person 
made a setting in their Preferences. Perhaps links to nudity could be 
restricted so that they can only be referenced by a certain subdomain, 
which schools could (probably) block fairly easily, regardless of a 
person's preferences.
That's just an idea off the top of my head, I'm not sure it's any more 
feasible than flagging certain articles to contain boilerplate text like 
disclaimers.
