When the woman threatened to sue the school district if her name was not removed, Superintendent Courtney Goode directed the students to take the post down. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>The Bark ultimately removed it under pressure, only to reportedly restore it later.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Students at the school newspaper are facing what they feel amounts to a censorship battle. <span class=\"credit\">Instgram\/@redwoodtuhsd<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These reported censorship measures led longtime faculty adviser to the Bark, Erin Schneider, to take an abrupt leave of absence, citing \u201csignificant resistance\u201d to doing her job.<\/p>\n<p>Now, major press freedom organizations are pushing back hard on behalf of the students.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), headquartered in Philadelphia, PA., sent a letter last week to Superintendent Goode, urging the district to drop its investigations and stop any censorship practices. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>The newspaper\u2019s Instagram account named a person apparently mentioned in the

independence, we urge the district to end its investigation into The Bark and stop any other censorship practices,\u201d FIRE attorney Marie McMullan wrote in the letter, according to the Marin Independent Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Goode said in an email response to FIRE that public complaints surrounding the controversial editorial choice have been \u201cresolved,\u201d including restoring the redacted name, according to the Independent Journal. <\/p>\n<p>However, critics argue that launching formal reviews in response to complaints creates a chilling effect on student reporters.<\/p>\n<p>The First Amendment Coalition in San Rafael, Northern California came out in support of the student reporters, with attorney David Loy calling for the district to immediately end its probe into the publication of what he described as \u201ca single news photograph.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter

remotely violated this statute,\u201d Loy said, citing California Education Code Section 48907, which he claimed \u201cexpresses guarantees that for student newspapers at high schools, that students have control over editorial content and process, subject to very limited oversight and restraint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A rep for FIRE insisted that the organization was not acting on behalf of students in any potential legal suit, but rather, was \u201cdoing public advocacy on their behalf,\u201d according to EdSource.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdministrators would rather soothe the hurt feelings of third parties than stand by the important work of their student journalists,\u201d FIRE\u2019s McMullan said. \u201cFortunately, the First Amendment and California law compel the district to uphold student press freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parent Susan Harris, whose child works on the Bark, hopes the pressure leads to clear board-approved policies that strongly affirm student press rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope this opens the door for the district to work collaboratively with students and these organizations to adopt clear board-approved policies supporting student press rights, which has been the goal from the beginning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Download The California Post App, follow us on social, and
