As far as I know, all of the educational videos put out by Khan Academy are hosted on YouTube. Some schools have students watch KA videos as part of their individually paced instruction using a 1 to 1 (every kid has a tablet/laptop) instructional environment. I doubt if this is very common yet, but I've certainly read lots of support for this model of education. From what I've seen locally, 1 to 1 instructional environments are becoming one way that local private schools differentiate themselves from public schools. Whitelisting just the KA videos on YouTube strikes me as likely to be painful.
