High School censorship

Copies of the Oak Ridge High School's newspaper, The Oak Leaf, were seized on November 22, 2005.
The reasons given were the birth control article, which listed success rates for different methods and said contraceptives were available from doctors and the local health department, and a photo of an unidentified student's tattoo.
The student had not told her parents about the tattoo, and "I have a problem with the idea of putting something in the paper that makes us a part of hiding something from the parents," said Superintendent Tom Bailey.

(ed note: How is publishing something in a newspaper a part of hiding something?)

University of Tennessee journalism professor Dwight Teeter said "This is a terrible lesson in civics."

On the contrary - this is an excellent lesson in civics. So long as the right lesson is learned.
