Cite me case law that says that.
Otherwise you’re just spresding misinformation and hot air.
I’ll look for that tomorrow since it’s late and I’m going to bed.
And I’ll take my misinformation and hot air with me :)
Does the First Amendment apply to high school students? Freedom of the press for high school newspapers? Hmmm, seems the high school newspapers fall under the moderator(teacher) and the school and not the Constitution. I know in my school, the principal has final say what’s printed in the school newspaper, and the moderator moreso (and both can nix anything and everything they choose for whatever reason), and the kids have absolutely no say in anything nor do they have any liability either, whereas the faculty moderator and principal are held accountable, But I’ll check on that tomorrow for you and also how many schools bother to follow any of the rules? :)
I thought it was ruled that students aren’t held accountable for what’s reported/printed in high school newspapers since they’re kids and not legal adults. They get screwed in many ways but they also don’t have accountability as adults do. It was a huge issue back in the early 80’s when I was in high school and an editor of the school newspaper. If I recall correctly, the moderator (faculty member) was responsible for editing the paper and had complete control over what was printed and what wasn’t since the kids couldn’t be held responsible.
Something to look into tomorrow for sure. Thanks.
