High school newspaper censored | Daily Titan


High school newspaper censored Daily Titan:

"An Orange County principal violated a state education code that provides First Amendment rights to high school journalists when she halted the printing of the school’s newspaper, Evolution, last week, experts say.

“In this case, technically, the principal was out of line,” said Jay Seidel, an instructor and journalism adviser at Fullerton College. “It was illegal what she did according to the California education code. She violated the student (writers’) rights.”"
