It's a great day for #StudentPressFreedom! @newvoicesnj Bill A169 passed the New Jersey Education Committee 6-0. So proud of students for their testimony and the tireless leadership of N.J. advisers and supporters, @jeapressrights @SPLC and more. Onward!

Can't get over how important + timely this feature on student voice in @AASAHQ is.

Saving the whole issue to read later. But the story on student publications is 🔥.

“There’s a lot of self-censorship. We’re protective of our advisors. When trying something controversial or dangerous, they’re laying their jobs on the line.”

From @SPLC: "School censorship of journalism disproportionately targets female teens, marginalizing their voices and diminishing their ability to develop as leaders."

We need #NewVoices legislation to protect our students' voices! #InternationalWomensDay

[Mike Simons, MJE @msimons]

#Journalism matters.

Students' voices matter.

The @newvoicesny, @PaVoices, @NewVoicesFL, @VoicesTexas and sister campaigns are on the move, and we won't stop until the nation's student journalists have full access to their #FirstAmendment rights. #NewVoices @SPLC (16/x)

“If we trust students to use a lathe in a wood shop, or a blowtorch in a technical education course, why are we so afraid of giving them a pen?”

“If student journalists were to guide their ethical decisions by asking the question, ‘Which choice would the administration agree with?’ their freedom of expression would be inherently compromised.”

A great story by college paper @atitan about high school journalists in their area who say they were put "through hell" because of censorship, but managed to eventually reveal the truth. https://t.co/aBlNJEjYrD
