Ill. h.s. school officials plan to distribute censored student newspaper weeks late

Redcardlibrarian writes “ILLINOIS – School officials plan to distribute copies of the April issue of the Collinsville High School Kahoki on Friday, weeks after the student newspaper’s distribution was held up by the principal, who had concerns the content would be “disruptive.”

Principal Daryl Floit delayed the release of the Kahoki until the last day of school because its March issue contained a top 10 list by editor Sarah Lawrence criticizing the school’s guidance and math departments. The April issue contains two pages of letters to the editor that agree and disagree with Lawrence’s stance, she said.
