1. Have your rights as a student ever been violated?
Not really, I’ve never been searched or
anything like that. I have worked on the paper, and I quit because
they would edit my papers so they were beyond P.C.
2. Have your rights as a citizen ever been violated
in a school? How?
I guess they have, with the paper and all.
I didn’t like how they edited and stuff, so I stopped writing. Doesn’t
freedom of the press and free speech fall under that?
3. Which do you believe ‘outweigh’ the other
rights? The right to an equal education? Or the Right to Free
Speech?
I don’t know, it’s too hard to tell.
One is your education and the other is the right to be yourself, you can’t
choose between the two.
Why do you believe this?
Because it’s my rights, isn’t it?
You can’t choose between rights. They’re yours.
4. Are you familiar with any court cases on the
subject of students’ rights?
No I’m not.
5. Do you feel like your school teaches you enough
about your rights as a citizen enacted prior to your 18th birthday?
I don’t know, I know a little about all that
stuff, but I’m not sure if I can even file for taxes or something like
that. I don’t know how to vote completely, I might be, I don’t know.
