Join a team that opposes censorship
Looking for something constructive to do that concerns education, scholastic journalism and maybe even the future of democracy?
Join a team that opposes censorship.
Students and parents who want to stop censorship of student media started team McCandless because adviser Cathy McCandless has said she will not advise student media next year given the prior review and censorship generated over several years.
The site urges everyone to “join us if you want to show your support. Censorship teaches nothing.”
We agree, and urge everyone who cares about scholastic journalism, about opposing censorship, to join.
Lori Carballo, who set up the Facebook page, writes there, “We cannot let our opinions be heard only on Facebook. Take the time to let your voices be heard by the Wentzville School District. Contact the school board, the building administrators, the superintendents and tell them what’s on your mind.”
It might just be the first step to ignite constructive change in a series of bad administrative decisions.
