You are editor of the Student Times. You and your newspaper staff have spent the last two months working on a story about drug use at your public high school. You've interviewed more than two dozen sources, including students and parents, school officials, doctors, social workers and drug rehabilitation counselors. The story is well-researched and well-written. It suggests that drug use is more common among students at your school than many community members may think. Alarmed by the findings -- and concerned about how the community will react -- your principal has censored the story and steadfastly refused to back down. What should you do?
• Consider publishing the story on your own either in an independent, or "underground" newspaper or on a private, off-campus Web site.
• Appeal the principal's decision to the school district superintendent and school board.
• Publish and distribute a press release about the censorship to local media and other interested groups.
• All of the above.
