Nevertheless, definite bad judgment all around here! When you get a bunch of teenagers with a mass platform for communication, they're going to do something dumb every once in awhile.</p> http://chicagoist.com/2009/02/16/after_printing_a_salacious_issue.php#comment-1589968 http://chicagoist.com/2009/02/16/after_printing_a_salacious_issue.php#comment-1589968 Comments Mon, 16 Feb 2009 13:07:20 -0600 <p>High school newspapers aren't afforded the same first amendment rights that regular newspapers are. There was a Supreme Court case about this 20-25 years ago where the court ruled that the high school basically acts "as a parent" and has the right to censor. Where was the newspaper adviser during this whole thing? You would think he or she would have the sense to have stopped it. </p>
