IHS Paper Goes to Trial Over Censorship

Danielle Davis  —  Apr 9, 2009

After four years of waiting, seven former editors of Ithaca High School’s newspaper received some good news from federal judge Norman Mordue on Mar. 24: their lawsuit against the Ithaca City School District for infringing on students’ First Amendment rights is now officially going to trial.
