There are many kinds of censorship within our school system. Such as press
Censorship, we aren't aloud to express freely among our school’s newspaper nor
yearbook. I believe that we should be able to write anything that the student
wants to see on the newspaper. Equivalent to the yearbook, students should be
able to have the right tosay whatever they want for a SENIOR quote. Freedom of
the press ensures Americans great freedom of choice in what they can read and
see. This should also apply to our community public schools, we should be given
the right inside school just as much as outside. Its like a fellow classmate
said today in class, "Its like we are not in America anymore when we step
onto school grounds." I believe in this point that he made because it is
just like that. Our freedoms are limited in a way to where we can barely express
ourselves within the school newspapers and yearbook. One type of publication
that has never been given First Amendment protection is obscenity. This is one
thing that I can agree with; certain things are absolutely immoral and
inappropriate, such as pornography and foul language to an extent. However, the
rules and regulations of our schools newspaper and yearbook need to be a little
more just, to fit our rights of press. I would like our school to be among the
first to allow the students almost every right to print whatever they would like
to write about. But, not every freedom is absolute.... If they were, our school
system would be in total chaos.
