While in her junior year at Milpitas High School in Northern California, student journalist Riya Vyas  heard the rumors like everyone else – two teachers had been accused of improper behavior with students.  She used the power of the press – and open records requests – to build a paper trail and show that the teachers had been allowed to resign quietly, decreasing the possibility that a record of disciplinary action might follow them to their next jobs. Vyas won the Student Press Law Center's inaugural Student Freedom of Information Award.  Also, Mike Hiestand, senior legal counsel for the SPLC, discusses why the work of high school and college journalists pressing for transparency and accountability is more important than ever. Feb. 22 marks Student Press Freedom Day.

“Whether you grew up in a predominately Black space, or a predominately white space, you're probably going to have a racialized moment at some point in America. And you have to figure out what you're going to do with that racialized moment. Is that going to derail you or is going to put you on a new path to think about race in a slightly different way?” asks Dr. Kris Marsh, Professor at the University of Maryland. In today's episode host D-Rich sits down with guests Dr. Kris Marsh and Kiara Williams, Esq., Co-Founder of the Auditory Museum and radio host, for part two of a two-part series titled, “What My Eyes Have Seen” which focuses on generational stories.    Both Dr. Marsh and Kiara grew up in predominantly white environments. Kiara shares that she did not have a Black teacher prior to fifth grade and until that moment, she had formed the assumption that white people were naturally smarter. When children grow up without connections to their race in the people around them, they lose touch with a large part of their identity and have to unlearn preconceived biases made based on their environments. Dr. Marsh shares that anti-blackness is woven into basically all social institutions in America and although the racism is slightly less overt now, it is no less traumatizing to experience. In order for real and impactful change to occur, reparations must be performed on a federal level.    Whether you grow up in a predominantly white area or a predominantly Black one, you will inevitably encounter radicalized racism at some point. Unfortunately, the undercurrent of racism runs deep throughout America and has created lasting trauma that all Black people must learn to analyze and face. Join Dr. Kris Marsh, Kiara Williams, Esq., and host D-Rich on this week's episode of Southern Soul Live Stream - Podshow to learn more about racism in academia, mental health disparities within the Black community, and why Black Americans deserve reparations.    Quotes • “If you were to take away every title, mother, father, teacher, engineer, lawyer, radio host, you were to take away all of those titles, who are you at your core?” (15:46-15:56 | Kiara) • “I have a lot of Black friends who have never had the experience of having a Black teacher. Many of them have spent their lives thinking they hated science, or they were bad at math, when really they just had a hard time connecting with their teachers.” (23:05-23:15 | Kiara) • “Whether you grew up in a predominately Black space, or a predominately white space, you're probably going to have a racialized moment at some point in America. And you have to figure out what you're going to do with that racialized moment. Is that going to derail you or is going to put you on a new path and think about race in a slightly different way?” (35:50-36:06 | Dr. Kris) • “What happens with racism now is we can't always name it and claim it because you didn't explicitly call me the N word. And so it's harder for us to kind of tease it out and think through it. And it can be traumatizing for black folks having to always think about that.” (39:01-39:15 | Dr. Kris) • “Anti-Blackness happens in any social institution in America. Why? Because we know race is the linchpin that holds America together and race is the linchpin that built America.” (50:55-51:06 | Dr. Kris)  • “For every dollar of wealth held by a white person, a Black person holds 10 cents of wealth, relative to that dollar.” (1:05:28-1:05:37 | Dr. Kris) • “To really be impactful, the federal government owes Black Americans reparations, it should not be at the individual level, it should be a federal law.” (1:06:14-1:06:24 | Dr. Kris)   Links Kiara Imani Williams - https://www.kiaraimani.com/about Therapy Isn't Just for White People Book - https://www.amazon.com/Therapy-Isnt-Just-White-People/dp/1735145874/   Kiara Imani Williams, Esq., is a co-founder of The Auditory Museum - a company specializing in communication and corporate storytelling.

We speak with Hillary Davis, who runs the New Voices program at the Student Press Law Center, and Sara Fajardo, who experienced censorship firsthand at her high school. School administrators frequently prevent students from publishing articles or posts that might make parents nervous or "damage the school's reputation." New Voices laws, which students shepherd through state legislatures, aim to guarantee freedom for student journalists.

Episode Notes In this episode, we look at the Mahanoy v BL case which the Supreme Court ruled on in June. It focuses on student rights of free expression using social media off campus. The very limited decision, siding with the student raised as many questions as it answered. Tripp Robbins interviews law professors and First Amendment attorneys Sommer Ingram Dean (also of Student Press Law Center) and Jim Wagstaffe.  Find out more at https://schoolhousegate.pinecast.co

Jerry's Rant: Why The U.S Lost The War In AfghanistanJene will introduce Hadar (pronounced Hah-DAR) Harris, who is the executive director of the Student Press Law Center, which is in the news lately for their support of a high school journalism teacher and her student whose school yearbook page was pulled from the book before it was distributed because it had a Roaring Twenties theme mentioning events from the past year like George Floyd's murder, Trump's loss, his denial Jan. 6 and Covid 19. The small Bigelow High School from Arkansas' East End School District thought they could censor the yearbook and ended up having the content discussed and reprinted throughout the country. We'll discuss this case, what the Law Center is asking of the district's superintendent, see if student censorship is bigger than just this school and learn about existing student journalism protections.Then we'll hear the music of Jake Dunn & The Blackbirds.http://www.jdblackbirds.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Many students will be starting school for the first time this year and many will do so without the benefit of kindergarten or face-to-face learning.

In this episode, Mark Simon is joined by 3 college students formerly from Kirkwood (Mo.) High School: Emma Lingo, Maddie Meyers, and Kiden-Aloyse Smith to talk about a project they did for their high school newspaper in 2020.They were part of a group that took The 1619 Project, the Pulitzer Prize-winning series of articles and podcasts from the New York Times and adapted it to cover their largely white suburb outside St. Louis. They wrote stories about topics such as the impacts of redlining, redistricting, and economic disparities in and around their communityMark talked with the students about the pieces they wrote, the writing process, and how they reacted when they heard that politicians in Iowa just introduced legislation to ban the teaching of The 1619 Project.Mark and podcast intern Emmy Liederman then briefly discussed what the students shared, and Mark shared something he found online connected to Black History Month and journalism history.Thanks to the Student Press Law Center, whose website made us aware of this project, and Kirkwood High School journalism teacher Mitch Eden for putting us in touch with the students.Important WebsitesThe Kirkwood Call's 1619 ProjectKirkwood Call TwitterVince Dixon's 28 Black Pioneers Project

S2E13 - If You Don't Tell These Stories, Who Will? Students' voices matter, and student journalists' voices are silenced by administrative overreach and censorship far more often than most of us are likely aware. Recently, I had the opportunity to share a message of empowerment and advocacy with nearly 800 students at the Garden State Scholastic Press Association's Fall Conference — that message is presented here as an episode of the podcast. I know that these topics can challenge advisers, editors and staffs at yearbooks and other publications, but the fight for our students' First Amendment rights is a worthy one, and one I invite you to join in. Thirty-six states operate under the Hazelwood standard, giving school officials far too much control over what news students in their communities can access. Join us in the New Voices campaign to restore the Tinker standard to our schools! For more on New Voices, visit the Student Press Law Center's website and follow @SPLC on Twitter.

After giving some background about the the term "hate speech" and its legal status, Menlo School journalism adviser Tripp Robbins interviews Student Press Law Center lawyer Mike Hiestand about hate speech, the First Amendment and student media. While offensive speech is protected by the First Amendment, Hiestand clarifies some situations where it might cross over into an unprotected speech category, such as "fighting words," and reminds student editors that some decisions are ethical rather than legal.If you are a student or a student media adviser with thoughts on this episode, we want to hear from you.

S2E3 - Journalistic Yearbooks with Rebecca Pollard Every year, more yearbook staffs choose to take a more journalistic approach to their coverage — and they're going way beyond the most basic who, what, when, and where!

In late 1965, a 13-year-old student named Mary Beth Tinker wore a black armband to Warren Harding Junior High School in Des Moines, Iowa, to support a truce in the Vietnam war. The school suspended Mary Beth Tinker for violating a a policy the district had enacted to forbid just such protests. Through her parents, Mary sued the school. Tinker v. Des Moines made its way to the Supreme Court. The Court held that the school violated the students’ First Amendment rights by prohibiting armbands without sufficient evidence that they substantially disrupted the regular operation of the school. But in the years since this landmark case, the Supreme Court has sided more and more with a school’s right to restrict or punish speech. Host Ken White dives into the Tinker v. Des Moines case and how it has impacted freedom of speech for students on campuses today. While Mary Beth Tinker’s rights were upheld, many plaintiffs in First Amendment cases today have faced less sympathetic courts. Ken and his guests discuss the cultural and historic factors that have led to that retreat. The episode features the thoughts and perspective of Mary Beth Tinker herself, who remains an activist for student free speech. Ken also interviews Frank LoMonte, a professor of journalism and the recent head of the Student Press Law Center, an advocacy group that helps protect the rights of high school and college journalists.

CENSORSHIP IN SCHOOLS WITH THE STUDENT PRESS LAW CENTER First time guest Frank LoMonte of of SPLC...a non-profit legal services organization protecting the rights of student journalists K-20. Presented by GIHON RIVER PRESS 

Frank LoMonte, executive director for the Student Press Law Center, explains that while younger journalists, in high school and college, predominantly, are being tasked with reporting on real-world events, theyre doing so without a safety net.

We finish up our fascinating discussion with Frank LoMonte of the Student Press Law Center. After finishing our tour of the major Supreme Court decisions affecting student speech - including the notorious "Bong Hits for Jesus" case - we finally get to Facebook and other social media, the new frontier of student speech cases. Join us!

Can your teacher punish you for what you post on Facebook? Even if you do it at home? On a weekend? During summer vacation? We talk to Frank LoMonte of the Student Press Law Center, who will take us through the major Supreme Court cases governing public school speech, cases which don't necessarily bode well for student rights. But before we start our discussion with Frank Lomonte, we also speak briefly with Michael Perry about his February 4, 2013 presentation on human rights for the Buechner Institute of King College in Bristol, Virginia.

Do we have freedom of speech in schools? Over the past several years we have seen an assault on free speech. Onerous censorship not only gagged the mouths of our scientists, but perhaps more troubling, there is a pervasive involuntary censorship that citizens have placed on themselves for fear of speaking out. What are students and parents rights to speak out at school? Can someone edit your email? Can your viewpoint be censored in committee? Can a student article in the school newspaper be censored? Will the IRS take away the tax status of a 501(c)3 because of something said on non-profit’s listserv? Should free speech of members be restricted? Senior Dad Stan Goldberg is joined by David Greene, Executive Director of THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROJECT, Mike Hiestand, Legal Consultant for the Student Press Law Center and Rachel Norton, Mother, Listserv Moderator and newly announced candidate for School Board.
