Too sexy? Student paper confiscated
By: Leean Tupper Oak Ridge Staff

The Oak Leaf, the monthly school newspaper written and produced by students at Oak Ridge High School, wasn't distributed Wednesday because of one particular article and some of its content dealing with sex and birth control methods, according to the paper's editor-in-chief.
And this has newspaper staffers and students alike upset.
"It's nothing new for us to explain these controversial issues," the paper's Editor-in-Chief Brittany Thomas, a senior, said Wednesday afternoon.
"I won a first-place award from the Tennessee Press Association for an article very similar to this one," she said, referring to the article written by another student.
"It's very upsetting. This is a good, solid story.
"The school administration should realize they don't have the power to censor our paper," Thomas said, while fellow students gathered around her living room late Wednesday afternoon to hand-paint T-shirts they plan to wear to school on Monday in protest.
"When they (the general population) see a pregnant girl, they say the girl should know better," senior Samantha Senn said. "But in a lot of cases, they (the girls) don't know anything."
Other students said they think not allowing the paper to be distributed at school is "ridiculous."
The article which explains birth control methods references a national survey, conducted in 2001, of high school students who were asked whether they were sexually active. Those national percentages were applied to ORHS students.
The article primarily covers birth control methods, quotes Dr. Charles Darling, an obstetrician/gynecologist in Oak Ridge, and tells students where they may obtain contraceptives - including a quote from Darling that says parental consent is not needed to obtain birth control.

Brittany Thomas, editor of the Oak Ridge High School newspaper, is upset students are being denied access to The Oak Leaf's latest edition.
Thomas also pointed out another article placed below the story of concern that advises students to practice abstinence until marriage.
Though Oak Ridge Superintendent of Schools Tom Bailey admitted "not everything about that article is wrong," he told The Oak Ridger on Wednesday, "our paper's not there to hide things from parents."
The superintendent added: "We have a responsibility to the public to do the right thing."
Bailey said ORHS Principal Becky Ervin approached him Tuesday after she learned the birth control article was in the Nov. 23 edition of the student paper, which also includes a two-page, color middle spread of students' tattoos and a story about two students' experiences in obtaining body art.
The paper had been distributed to teachers Tuesday afternoon for student distribution on Wednesday morning, Thomas said. However, the student editor said she learned upon arriving at school Wednesday that the papers had been collected from the teachers.
Wanda Grooms, student advisor for The Oak Leaf, said she "wasn't completely comfortable with (the subject)," and that the article had been discussed with and re-written several times by a student reporter.
Grooms said she helps students, but she does not give them story ideas or pull articles unless they are libelous, obscene or an invasion of someone's privacy.
"I think The Oak Leaf has had a long tradition of 50 years of operating as a public forum for students to express themselves," Grooms said. "Kids need to talk about hard subjects in a fair and honest way."

Saddam Hussein. I am not interested. He belongs at The Hague.
This is not a USA prison. The rules don't apply. I can't believe these people are obsessed over a haircut. The courts in Iraq practice Hammurabi Code. It's hardly a standard in the USA.

John King again. Support of the war Rep. Jones. Oh, the Freedom Fry Guy. He opposes Bush now. He has decided following the policies of Bush is a dangerous business not just for the people in uniform but for the people of Congress/Senate who like to remain on the right side of Constitutional Law by having a commander and chief that can be impeached when he over reaches his claims to power violating legislation that was to restrain the power of this country until there was no other option. Rep. Jones also feels the violations of human rights of the military has remained under leadership that continues to make errors. There is no place for people in this country for those that violate international law. I admire Rep. Jones who seeks to protect his military constituency as well as the interests of this country. A strong military cannot be compromised by violations of International Law.
I don't know if I ever mentioned it but John King did a nice review in the Gulf Coast of the recovering fisheries and the industry as a result of it. Soft shell crabs? Is that right? Did you ever get back in touch with those merchants? More advocacy perhaps Mr. King.
