3. A Ban on Prior Restraint in High Schools: The Aftermath of the 'Fujishima' Decision.

Author

Trager, Robert and Dickerson, Donna L.

Abstract

After a unique court decision forbidding prior restraint in public high school publications in three states, a study was devised based on the responses to individual questionnaires sent to principals, faculty advisers, and student editors in each of the schools in the judicial district involved in the decision. Respondents answered questions concerning school size and location, frequency of newspaper distribution, newspaper sponsorship, and supervision of the paper. Other questions dealt with censorship, underground newspapers, freedom in high school newspapers, and personal familiarity with the court decision. Advisers and principals answered additional questions regarding their journalism experience and training and their practices for reviewing printed material. The results disclosed the following: only 10% of the advisors and 15% of the principals were familiar with the court decision; the decision did not precipitate an increase in campus disruptions; the journalism atmosphere was less restrictive in large communities and schools; and principals and advisers with academic or professional backgrounds tended to give students more freedom. The lack of consistency among the schools in permitting student freedom indicated that the court decision had little effect on high school journalism. (MAI)

6. <FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION> AND CULTURAL MEANING: AN ANALYSIS OF METAPHORS IN SELECTED SUPREME COURT TEXTS.

Abstract

The "marketplace of ideas' is not only an enduring metaphor to describe how freedom of expression works in a democracy, but it also is a real-world "guidebook" for everyday legal decision making and interpretation of the First Amendment. This article asks the reader to move beyond the "marketplace" metaphor to discover a deeper mythic and metaphoric image that transcends the social, political and economic world of cases and controversies. Using the hermeneutic/ objectivist approach put forward by Paul Ricoeur, this article analyzes the metaphoric language of six major Supreme Court decisions that span 70 years of First Amendment interpretation. The result is the uncovering of a new framing metaphor--the GUARDIAN--that transports our thinking about freedom of expression into our deepest myth-consciousness. This article demonstrates how mining our legal texts for new meanings of freedom of expression, unencumbered by traditional philosophical or methodological paradigms, may reveal new understandings about ourselves and our ideology.
