No one has accused anyone of any censorship. Just complaining that educators are looking at what students are doing.

This is a really bad look for MCPS. Can we ever get some good news?

The Washington Post has an article about it too - maybe 2 days ago. That all articles in MCPS student newspapers must be pre approved by the principal before they can be published. Teacher mentor approval is not enough

Looks like you need a basic high school journalism class yourself.

Good for you! As a former student journalist I remember when I was censored by my principal - over 30 years ago! Still sits with me. Unacceptable.

What is he censoring now? Maybe the banner can report on this - Streisand effect and all

Big mistake Thomas Taylor. Your butt is about to be sued. Maryland has a free speech law. Instead of fixing problems, MCPS just wants to hide them. Please support student journalists!
