Freedom of the Principal

Omaha Public Schools spokeswoman Luanne Nelson can say anything she chooses, except maybe "FIRE!" in a public place and "I am going to Kill the President." North High School's newspaper does not have the same liberty. Principal Gene Hanynes's reason?
"There were inappropriate items in that edition, especially for a high school," Hanynes said in an interview with the Omaha World Herald.
He was probably right, from what I can collect of the description by the World Herald of the North Star indepth. The step-by-step how-to on condoms was probably too much, but then a paper has never been pulled for supporting abstinence.
