and that is one of the biggest piles of shit they ever did. bribery should not be a protected freedom. but perhaps that's a threadjack. so.
i support the right of these kids to print the editorial. i didn't think it was well phrased as it could have been, but still. i think the advertisers have the right to pull out - but it would be nice to see other advertisers pick up their places. regardless, i think that the
public school newspaper should stand up for the philosophical / political point it's editorial board put up instead of cowering to advertisers. that's the rub when you make your business so heavily involved in spreading the news and journalistic integrity. it seems the flip side, where the newspaper is 'just another business' is the bullshit we have now...where
all news is basically propaganda.
