Whose News? Student Journalists Examine Gay Rights; Community Response Is Shock, Anger.

Flynn, Chip; Kunz, Deanne

Teaching Tolerance, v3 n2 p24-27 Fall 1994

The student editor and faculty advisor of a high school newspaper discuss reactions to a feature on gays, lesbians, and homophobia that caused great controversy in the school's community. Acceptance of diversity, which motivated the topic selection in the first place, also grew from acknowledging the responses of the community. (SLD)
