Does anyone have access to a block list?

I am making Firefox, School Edition, and I am stuck at the blockers. Does anyone have a list of websites to block?

Proxy/firewall filtering
Submitted by JustZisGuy on Sun, 04/15/2007 - 14:19.

At an organization like a school you would not want to rely on filtering at the application level. That would be way to easy to bypass just by running another browser application. The way it is usually done is to filter at the proxy server or firewall that connects the local intranet to the Internet. 

Now, what would be extremely beneficial if somebody could find a reliable way to keep Firefox's proxy settings configured properly. For example where I work they changed the name of the proxy server and then pushed out an update that changed the setting for IE to all of the computers. Firefox did not get that and had to be changed manually.

At schools, they have some sort of web filter (such as "SurfControl") present, which would block unwanted websites anyway?
