Strange that you should choose this particular passage for a sunday school lesson tonight because first of all its not Sunday and secondly this passage is one often used by nay-sayers who are anti-christian. They see this passage as showing God to be unmerciful and a hater...calling for the death of these innocent idolotars who just happen to be stupid enough to believe in false gods and stuff. The problem though and you might want to relay this to your students...what are they 2nd graders?... is that the idolotry and paganism of those days often times led to such fine behavior as sacrificing ones own children, trafficing children in slavery in exchange for sacrificial animals (swine) and trading oneself in temple prostitution as a form of worship. Yeah...it would sorta be like how a parent would feel toward a trusted person who secretly led their child into drug use or pornography or something like that...Jealous God and all that ya know? Wouldn't want someone to parish over the worshipping of a piece of stone or wood...
Deuteronomy 13:6-10
6If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
7Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
8Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
9But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
10And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Anyway, there ya go. Enjoy!

The software is blocking some pages due to violent or sexual keywords, and dependent upon what translation you use, there may be several words in a chapter that won't pass.
It'd be best to separate your work from your spiritual life and do research on your own time, some employers, such as my own, monitor employee's web use and regard personal surfing and research as 'time theft', the same as sitting around reading a newspaper, or making personal phone calls on company time.

So take your own personal laptop into work with the Bible on it. You don't own your work computer, so they have the right to put restrictions on it.

Deu 13:6 ¶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
Deu 13:7 [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth;
Deu 13:8 Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
Deu 13:9 But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
Deu 13:10 And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Must be a really sensitive filter
Here are the verses:
6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. 9 You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

I think your sunday school lesson should be about how using your employers time for personal business, is theft.
