Previously censored article printed after high school paper, administration reach compromise

After a ten-month censorship battle with the Glendale Union High School District, Thunderbird High School’s student newspaper, The Challenge, published and distributed a previously censored article.

The article about the district’s teacher assessment testing was set to publish on May 8, 2009, and is now in the Feb. 12 of The Challenge, along with the district’s response.

Negotiations took place between student editors and administrators to publish the original article and the district’s response after a long appeals process.
