3-24-14 fdl high school english department staff issues statement on censorship policy

Fond du Lac High School English Department staff is encouraging  the district  to reconsider a new censorship policy involving the high school newspaper.  The staff signed a 22 page statement in support of an open forum for student expression.  The statement follows a decision to have the principal review all stories before they are published in the Cardinal Columns newspaper.  That policy was implemented after school officials objected to an article that was published last month on the rape culture at the high school.  The Fond du Lac school board holds its regular bi-monthly meeting Monday night.
