All very nice and dandy except that Jefferson also intended for newspaper owners to NOT say what they don't want to. This paper is not owned by the student editor but by some formation between the college and the campus student organization. Like most any paper, they have the rights to create their own publishing guidelines. They did and this editor violated them.
TJ wouldn't have had a problem with this. Why do you? :hmm:
