[] In 1988, the Supreme Court ruled in // Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier // that school officials have the right to control schoolsponsored student publications that are not public forums of student expression. When school officials can show their censorship is "reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns," censorship is allowed.

"If the stories are really inappropriate, then I think they should do something about it," says Jacob, who was among the 45% of teen respondents who said schools should limit what students can write in school papers. Kimberley sides with the 55% of teens who think school officials shouldn't limit student journalists. "In colleges, they don't quite restrict it so much, it's a little bit more open," she says.

Looking at them you might not guess it. But deep in a basement room on the University of Toronto campus, three unassuming computer hackers with messy hair and wrinkled T-shirts are working to tear down China's "Great Firewall," the most sophisticated Internet **//censorship//** system in the world. They are self-confessed computer "geeks." They don't go to the gym much, or see much sunlight. They talk about "routers" and "nodes" and "secure socket layers" like they were saying, "Hello," or "How are you?" But the computer smarts of Ron Deibert, Nart Villeneuve, and Michael Hull, combined with their passion for politics and free expression, have led them to develop a highly anticipated software program that allows Internet users inside China and other countries, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Burma, to get around repressive **//censorship//** and not get caught.
