We, the citizens of Coweta and its surrounding counties, petition the Coweta County Board of Education to relax the current student publication policy to allow the students to properly exercise their First Amendment rights as citizens of the United States.

We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to revise the current student publication policy.

Support this 100%. If they are old enough to learn about the constitution they should be allowed to use it.
