Ridiculous that this is even a debate. If they are learning journalism let them actually do it without fear of admin shutting them down.

My son is on the paper and he is so frustrated. They work hard on these stories and get silenced for no good reason.

the fact that administrators can just kill a story because they dont like it is wrong. pass the bill.
