Censoring School Papers

As a member of the journalism class, I take pride in being someone who can bring information to my peers. Such was not the case with the students from Fairbault High School. These students caught the story of a teacher in their middle school being allegedly involved in inapproiate behavior with her students. The High School principal would not allow the students to run the story, fearing the teacher's reputation,along with her children's, would be tarnished and it would do harm especially if she was not guilty. these students were adamant in getting their story out and teamed up with the city paper after they proposed the idea of the city paper running their story. the principal could do nothing about the city paper and the students got their story out. The principal was unhappy but proud of the students for being so adamant.
I know if a story like that popped up in my school, I would also go to great lengths to get my story out.
Congratulations Echo Journalists!

  1. It's a tough situation, but you're right, the students’ being so "adamant" is admirable, to say the least. Still an awkward, risk-filled situation regardless.
