Jersey School Admins Review Cartoon

The student newspaper at Clearview Regional High School in Harrison Township, New Jersey, has been halted after school administrators objected to a cartoon about a school sex education program. I'm not sure there's much more to the story than that, but I wanted to pull it out because of it's the first such story I can remember about a high school in a while, after tons of stories in 2006 and 2007 about cartoons in university newspapers. I also can't imagine such a move won't magnify the power of the cartoon about 10,000-fold than if it had just been published. It's also one of those things where one suspects the administration objection isn't to the content or to its effect on the students but in anticipation of potential parental complaints.
