School Censorship
I came across these 2 articles on /. which discuss how the ACLU successfully fought for a student’s right to free speech. I think it’s important to remember all the students who weren’t as lucky as this kid and were silenced for way more legitamite sites criticizing their schools. Schools need to start learning that when they give students a sanctioned voice (e.g. a student council that isn’t a popularity contest) and respect students as adults, many of their so called “discipline problems” will dissappear. They need to realize that many of the students who are speaking out agains the school often have some legitimate grievances and some of the most lucid ideas for helping improve the school system. Anyway, here are the links: http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-4930756.html?tag=nbs and http://www.politechbot.com/p-01762.html
