Question Two______________________________________________________________

You are the faculty advisor for the student run newspaper at your high school. The end of- the-year issue of the paper includes articles on drug addiction and drug treatment programs. The authors of the articles put a semester's worth of work into them. The articles are well researched and factually accurate. They include interviews and advice from doctors, nurses, and counselors. The articles also include anonymous interviews with other students at the school who are taking drugs now or who have taken drugs in the past. Just before the newspaper is distributed throughout the school, your principal reviews it. She does not like the articles on drug addiction, especially the interviews. She threatens to forbid distribution of the newspaper unless these articles are removed. What legal precedents should you consider? As the sponsor what should you do? Is there a way to avoid this problem?
