what can you do these days?
Posted May 22, 2006
i got in trouble today from my principal because i put a "concerning picture" in with my story for the literary magazine. apparently now i have to change it or my story will undergo "parent review." which basically means him telling parents to vote against allowing it. and i definitely can't have that because my story swears, i don't want to risk having the whole thing pulled. it wasn't even that disturbing, just a little bloody. and it perfectly fit my story. but it's butterflies all the way for me now. i am so tired of the censorship in schools lately... everyone needs to grow up and stop sheltering their children from everything they'll be exposed to eventually, whether it's now or in ten years. if you overprotect them now, it will only frighten them more when they do find out the facts of life. but whatever.
