High School Censors Birth Control Info

[Egalia]

Back to the Dark Ages we go:

Students at Oak Ridge High School were apparently unaware that birth control is a forbidden subject. The latest issue of the student newspaper - which featured an informative article on the subject - has been censored by school officials. All 1,800 copies of the newspaper have been seized.

1. Wonder how much it would cost...

to independantly reprint, and redistribute
that issue to the students in it's original form?

2. Wouldn't this be a first amendment issue?

3. Unreal....

I guess it's time to start building a shield with the family crest and have my daughters fitted for chasity belts. I'm looking for an email address for the school.....

Here's the principal & vice-principal, drop 'em a note of thanks!

My letter...

I certainly hope that someone takes your school to task for 1st amendment violations. Thank-you for doing your part to make sure this country descends back into the theocracy of the Dark Ages. I assume that you prefer pregnant, single-mother teens to teens informed about birth control??? What an embarassment to all Tennesseans......
