@HoustonChron @octaviaj_news @nusaiblah Read our statement about why New Voices Texas is deeply concerned about the actions taken at Bellaire so far and what these new editorial protocols will entail next year. @octaviaj_news @nusaiblah. https://t.co/l86mJqtcmt

@HoustonChron @octaviaj_news @nusaiblah This is another example why Texas needs a New Voices law that will clarify the roles of students, teachers and administrators in the student publication process. 18 other states have passed these laws to clarify the vagueness of the 1988 Hazelwood decision. Texas should be next.
