Check with your district lawyers. Just because the content is easily available does'nt give you the right to show it iin the classroom. The district, teacher, tech department would all be liable. You need written approval from the producer to show the digital content. Your stealing. Research public performance rights. Check with your district lawyers.

The problem is really that you can't separate the inappropriate from the appropriate material. While I'm showing an educational video, off to the side are several inappropriate ones, with pictures. It's hard to get around that. Also, showing a live video can slow down the network and put pauses in your video. The best solution, I think, is to unblock YouTube from the teacher's computers only and have the teachers download the video before they show it.

I think it's a larger conversation about social media in general. Things got off on the wrong foot with MySpace and YouTube in the early days with a lot of negative buzz, but this does not mean they should be banned today. As a PR firm we run into the same issues with corporations banning social media outlets such as facebook and Twitter. It can feel like an uphill battle at times. I agree with this post entirely.
