Thread: Do you think school newspapers should be given absolute free speech with no

censorship form faculty advisors?

Why ?

No the purpose of this newspaper is to teach students how to write and run a newspaper. If they don't learn that there is censorship ( on all newspapers) then they arent learning all they need.

All newspapers are censored - the Editor decides what stays and what goes. In school there is one more process that of the faculty advisor - this is protect people from the unmeaning young reporter who may not check their sources and be as sure of their facts.

well it would be nice
but some people might get their feelings hurt
because we all dont think alike
so somebody might write an article that
can really hurt another persond feelings with
out even acnowledging it.

No, we are still students we need some rules and boundaries of what can be said and cannot.It wouldn't be fair to make anyone feel offended in anyway possible.

If your talking about a high school paper, the answer is an unequivocal "HELL NO!!!"

Teenagers for the most part, don't possess the necessary maturity, and/or wisdom to be given that much responsibility. Please note, I said for the most part...

No, because then it would be like reading the tabloids and nothing would be true. Just think of all the gossip teenagers could write about each other without any type of censorship.

They should have the same caliber of free speech regular newspapers have and the school should not be afraid when a genuine investigation uncovers malfeaseance, misfeseance or nonfeaseance
