Children's Internet Protection Act

What the law says.

For laptops deployed in USA, the laptop must integrate child-safe web filtering on the XO (not merely in the school server). Suppose the kid goes home and uses an alternate Internet gateway. If the XO is to be connected at home and comply with CIPA, it needs to have its own filtering.
