If just for email, and he was savvy/patient enough, retro-ing him to a 
terminal-prompt ASCII style screen would do it (Yes, I know there's ASCII 
prOn.")

Maybe a student machine -- something that's configured with blocking out
that stuff?

But realistically, if he wants to get around blocks, or find stuff they 
don't block, it'll happen, absent somebody sitting by his side with a 
wooden ruler (to rap him on the wrist).
