"A Lesson In Journalism"

A.) What was the article about?
The Article was about a Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who spoke at Dalton High School, and basically violated their first amendment rights by changing and approving and any articles that had been written for their high school newspaper, the Daltonian.

B.) How does all the content of this article apply to the profession of journalism along with the conduct and production of our own newspaper, the Tiger Rag?
In the profession of journalism, it is almost never a good thing to let someone control what you want to write. It is a journalist job to report the facts, not just tell the readers what they want to hear. The Tiger Rag is much like the Daltonian. Both newspapers have high school students writing about what goes on in and around their school. Everyone is born with equal rights including high school students. Just because we are high school students, doesn’t mean that people are allowed to control and censor what we write. One quote from the article that really seems to speak to me was when Mr. LoMonte said, “If you’re old enough to drive a tank, you’re old enough to write a headline.” This statement is extremely true. To me is seemed like Justice Kennedy didn’t trust Dalton High School students to get the written word out and rely what he really meant.

C.) What questions are you left with? Share at least two, and feel free to elaborate on them thoughtfully.
One question that I do have is why would a Justice, who was once a high school student himself, would think that high school students were unable to get the facts straight. Another question that I have is that, Why were these high school students afraid to stand up for their first amendment rights and write the article anyway?
