STOCKTON, Calif. — A Central California high school newspaper has published an article about an 18-year-old student who works in the porn industry after a fight with the district that the paper's adviser said violated free speech.Risky business: starting a career in the adult entertainment industryThe article profiles a student, Caitlin Fink, who sells nude photos of herself, is a member of an erotic video website, has signed a contract with a porn agency, and aspires to be a stripper.
Duffel refused on free speech grounds, and officials in the San Joaquin Valley district, which has about 31,500 students, agreed to let an attorney review the story. Matthew Cate, who represents Duffel and the student who wrote the article, concluded that the story didn't violate education codes.
Bruin Voice news editor Bailey Kirkeby wrote the article."I am very proud of the story and how it turned out," she told the Chronicle.
In high school, a student journalist wrote an article about something or other. The first letter of each sentence formed a rather crude phrase about our Principle. He was promptly suspended. School Decorum Rebels. They've been around a long time screaming about free speech.
I believe that the school district has a right to review the article, but I would never accept them censoring it. Embrace truth, and accept it upon factual content, and not silly and biased principles.
'Yes! I WANT to talk about this hot student! A student btw who their job is to be objectified by anyone who might view that content! even if I were say a papers adviser! shes old enough! free speech!'
You take up this free speech issue? Really?
