From Student Press Law Center: "School censorship of journalism disproportionately targets female teens, marginalizing their voices and diminishing their ability to develop as leaders." We need #NewVoices legislation to protect our students' voices! #InternationalWomensDay

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all of the brave advisers fighting for our First Amendment rights, and to Mary Beth Tinker for paving the way. “Students do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” - Tinker v. Des Moines, 1969

Student Press Law Center Lyman Journalism Standing with Lyman Journalism against censorship of student journalism, especially in a county where I work, live and teach. Hoping for clarification and further discussion from SCPS Info

We don’t support or condone censorship of any kind, especially when it involves responsible journalism by Southern journalists. We stand with Lyman HS journalists.

THREAD. Adam gets it right... The censorship of Lyman Journalism's Yearbook cannot stand. See also: #Florida needs a #NewVoices law NOW. #FirstAmendment #journalism

FSPA objects to Student Censorship at Lyman High School.

It's part of the story of the year. It happened. Placing stickers over the coverage won't change that fact. The student journalists covered it responsibly, ethically. #stopthestickers Lyman Journalism New Voices Florida (5/)

This is maddening. Plastering a sticker over it doesn't rewrite history. It was good, simple, straightforward coverage of a student protest.

Incredibly proud of the Greyhound yearbook staff and students from all over SCPS for speaking out against censorship and speaking up for themselves! Also, unbelievably grateful to SCPS school board for their unanimous support tonight! We stopped the stickers! 🎉

Bravo to SCPS Info School Board for reversing a plan to censor the Lyman Journalism yearbook for doing its job. And bravo to the brave students from Lyman and other schools who spoke to the board last night about the importance of student journalism. orlandosentinel.com/news/education…
