Compromise Reached in School Newspaper Suit
Four Wooster High School students learned a valuable lesson outside the classroom Thursday. They sued the school district in federal court and won. School administrators confiscated 4,500 hundred copies of the Dec. 20 edition of the "Wooster Blade," the school's newspaper, because of a controversial story regarding the district's treatment of student athletes caught drinking at a party. Four student editors then sued the district for the right to distribute the papers. In an agreement reached in court Thursday, the editors agreed to delete portions of the original story, and the school district will allow distribution of the paper by Monday.
