School survey; Do you think administration should have to approve a student newspaper before it's published?

I am doing a survey for school, and I was hoping you guys could help me out! the question is Do you think that a high school, student written newspaper should have to be approved by the school administration before it is published and distributed to students? A simple yes or no answer is fine! Thanks so much!

School survey; Do you think administration should have to approve a student newspaper before it's published?
Yes! If it has their name on it, or they are paying for, then ABSOLUTELY!
Reply:Yes. They own the press. Therefore, any freedom of the press is theirs to exercise. Not the students.
Reply:Yes. The school is responsible for everything written in the paper, so they could be liable for any slander, libel, or any other form of attacks.
Reply:Ultimately, there probably has to be some control. There might be some libel issues with a particular story, and you don't really want 16-year-olds making decisions that are particularly damaging in the legal sense. So a faculty advisor makes sense.





However, this comes with a warning to use that power very lightly. We need to teach the kids the virtues of free speech; censorship should only be used in rare cases.
Reply:YES
Reply:Nope.
Reply:of course. nothing is approved without administrations approval welcome to beurocracy
