Student Journalist Press Freedom Restoration Act; enact

Summary

The Student Journalist Press Freedom Restoration Act would give secondary‑school and public‑college students the right to publish news, opinion and other content without prior censorship, while shielding teachers who advise them. It defines school‑ and institution‑sponsored media, sets narrow limits (no libel, obscenity, privacy invasion, illegal content or clear‑and‑present‑danger speech), requires school boards to adopt written policies, and lets affected parties seek court injunctions. The bill aims to align student press rights with constitutional free‑speech protections.
