Managing the Student Press: Consider Carefully before You Unsheath the Censor's Scissors.

Sendor, Benjamin

American School Board Journal, v175 n4 p24-25 Apr 1988

The United States Supreme Court's decision in "Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier" gives school officials sweeping power over school-sponsored publications and other curricular and extracurricular activities. To avoid charges of squelching student expression, school boards should make sure that policies limit censorship to legitimate educational purposes. (MLF)
