Censorship cases involving student newspapers being reviewed by the high courts
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The Northern Illonois University Star's "Perspective" news section discusses recent high-profile court cases involving censorship of high school newspapers and the impact of such decisions on free speech.
The ability of college media content to remain independent and uncensored may once again be in jeopardy.
A controversial 1988 Supreme Court decision that gave high school administrators and principals the ability to censor student newspapers may soon apply to colleges and universities.
The Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier decision, which limited high school publications by allowing administrators to censor the content, currently is being reviewed, the Northern Star reported in a Nov. 18 article.
The courts found there was not enough clarity in the 1988 Hazelwood case, as it gave college students the impression they had complete protection from censorship and supervision prior to the view of university officials.
