Story pitches today. Please make sure you have, on paper, at least three story ideas with possible angles, who to interview and questions that need to be answered. You will be turning in your paper before you leave.
In preparation for class on Tuesday, please read the following article on the face veil ban in France. Please also review the French Constitution to see how the veil ban fits in with individual expression in France. Finally, please review the U.S. Constitution as it relates to individual expression. Hint: You're looking in both constitutions for what the government says individuals can and cannot do. Take notes.

First they came for the journalists...
Overland High School recently lost their student newspaper. The principal shut it down because he didn't like a story the newspaper was going to publish. Read more about the case here. The students have the backing of the ACLU and the Student Press Law Center. Despite the powerful backers, this type of situation could happen anywhere.
If you are moved to sign the petition to support the students and their paper, please feel free to do so. Use the school's address for your petition.
