At the high school level, it's questionable. At the lower levels you could damage younger children. Things should be screened for good taste. Ridiculous. Need professionals to review the materials. Censorship is never valid, it is a question of taste. Censorship should be handled better. Teachers should have more say in the mat- ter. In some cases censorship of school mate- rial by educators is necessary. However, by the time a student reaches high school, he or she should be able to cope with material presented and to put it in its proper perspective. lt incites people to read trash they wouldn't ordinarily read. ln the case of the film The Lottery, there are unsound reasons for censorship. Stu- dents are impressionable at earlier ages, such as iunior high. Totally wrong. No one has the right to tell anyone what they should read, hear or say. KATHY SMITH Social Studies l don't think the board should tell you what you can teach and what you can't teach. lt should be up to the teachers and the parents. l don't thoroughly endorse censorship. lt depends on who is going to read what is censored. l don't know if the board or government should do it, but when needed l am the censor in my own class.

CINDY SCHLUDE Business Education VICKI SCHMELTZ English DAN SEMAN Go out and do your thing. Don't let other people tell you who you are or what you should do. Decide for yourself. Don't let anyone tell you you won't get anywhere by giving and not taking. Keep your ears and eyes open for your opportunities. When they arrive take advantage of them and use them to help you expand yourself. Look around you. Enioy the beauty of the world.

I don't think that people should be prohibited from expressing ideas lust because one may disagree with them. Young people need guidance and directing. One principle function of the faculty should be to guide and supervise. I don't consider this censorship. Young peo- ple always need guidance, however, this guidance should be less confining. lf some- thing infringes on someone else's rights there should be censorship. Somebody must be responsible for what can go on in the schools, but it should be the board, teachers and parents, not iust one source. It's still at the learning stage at the senior high level. We make our own decisions now, but there has got to be someone to censor to tell whether you're right or not. The board must have the whole country's interest in mind. Ridiculous in iunior or senior high. Go to the public and get it. People have to self censor. I JANET YOUNG Science
