The Role of Censorship in School
Petress, Ken
Journal of Instructional Psychology, v32 n3 p248-252 2005
School authorities face great complexities and inevitable challenges when deciding to make or not to make censorship decisions in schools. Matters of educational content, age level, acceptability by parents and communities, and appropriateness in the school setting are among the decisions having to be made. When school official decisions result in disagreements, the courts eventually are called upon to render final disposition of such matters. This article offers select examples of representative censorship decisions and final dispositions are discussed. (Contains 22 endnotes.)
