The Bulldog Bulletin Editorial Policy As preservers and promoters of democracy, schools shall protect, encourage, and enhance speech and positive exchange of ideas as a means of protecting our American way of life. Students are protected in their exercise of expression by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Accordingly, school officials are responsible for ensuring freedom of expression for students. The Bulldog Bulletin, the official non-school sponsored newspaper of Lakeview High School, has been established as a public forum for student expression and as a voice in uninhibited free speech. The Bulldog Bulletin should provide a full opportunity for students to inquire, question, and exchange ideas. Content should reflect all areas of different interest, including topics about which there is to be dissent or controversy. Student journalism shall have the right to determine the content of official school publications, with the advice and teaching of the adviser. The Bulldog Bulletin and all its staff are protected by, and bound, to the principle of the First Amendment, and other protections and limitations afforded by the Constitution and the various court decisions. Students, in turn, shall refrain from libel, obscenity, material disruption of the school process, and unwarranted invasion of privacy. These freedoms and responsibilities apply to all articles, letters, photographs, artwork, and advertisements which appear in the Bulldog Bulletin. The Bulldog Bulletin will not be reviewed, retained, nor withheld from distribution by school administrators prior to distribution, as long as the protections and limitations afforded by the Constitution and various court decisions are followed. In case questions arise over a specific copy as defined within these guidelines, the advice of a practicing communications attorney would be sought. The school urges student journalists to recognize that with editorial control comes a responsibility to follow professional journalism standards as expressed by the Society of Professional Journalists. PROHIBITED OR NONPROTECTED MATERIAL (as defined by law): 1. Students cannot publish nor distribute libelous material. If the allegedly libeled party is a “public figure” or “public official” as defined below, then [it must be proven] that the false statement was published “with actual malice,” that the student journalist knew the statement was false, or that he or she published with reckless disregard for the truth without trying to verify the truthfulness of the statement. 2. Students cannot publish or distribute material that is “obscene to minors.” “Minor” means any person under the age of 18. 3. Students cannot publish nor distribute material that will cause a “material and substantial disruption of school activities.” A single member of the Bulldog Bulletin will not be held responsible for editorial content. Opinions expressed in the Bulldog Bulletin, if unsigned, do not necessarily reflect the views of either the administration or the school board. Signed opinions reflect the opinions of those who signed them. The Bulldog Bulletin is a tool in the learning process of journalism, and operates as a laboratory situation. Mistakes of fact through this learning process will be acknowledged and corrected in a subsequent issue of the Bulldog Bulletin. The Bulldog Bulletin editorial board, following the principles of the concept of public forum for student expression, will accept all letters to the editor, and other suggestions from any reader, inside or outside of school. In keeping with this concept of forum for student expression, the Bulldog Bulletin will publish letters to the editor, provided they contain the author’s last name, house, homeroom, and/or address. The Bulldog Bulletin editorial board as a whole will be responsible for determining editorial opinions which are printed. Letters will be published using “name withheld” providing the Bulldog Bulletin editor, managing editor, or news editor know the identity of the author. We reserve the right to withhold a letter or return it for more complete information if we determine it contains libel, obscenity, or material which will cause disruption of the school or invasion of privacy as defined by this policy. Letters will be edited for spelling and grammar and will be checked for verification. Should a letter contain errors in fact, excessive grammatical errors or being too long, it will be returned to the author for later resubmission. These guidelines will be circulated to all student journalists. PROTECTED SPEECH (as defined by current press law) Based on the principles of the Society of Professional Journalists, students will be free to: a. Report controversial, “fringe,” or minority opinions: topics that could be distasteful, unpopular, or unpleasant; b. Publish or distribute material relating to sexual issues, but not limited to, virginity, birth control, and sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS; c. Criticize the policies, practices, or performance of teacher, school officials, the school itself, or any public official. The Bulldog Bulletin 4 Senior Spotlight Hannah Elizabeth Butler

According to a poll last have six more months ever in Lakeview High School and the Lakeview year, forty per cent of Americans still believe humans were created in the last 10,000 years, presumably School District. Whoa. What a scary and yet… welcomed thought. along with the rest of Earth and everything in space (www.huffingtonpost.com). I’ve spent the last 13 years of my short (nearly) 18 year-old life I wouldn’t blame one for believing this, except that Earth is around four billion years old, and the with nearly the same 161 people, and, in six months, we’re all going universe is roughly fourteen billion years old; these figures come from observable evidence (the to go our separate ways.

I’m sure I speak for That’s just basic logic right there, but let’s dig a little deeper. Everyone knows from science class about many of my peers. the development of Darwin’s natural selection and how evolution works, so I’m not going to explain it. My parents always say, “Alex, high school will be the best four Rather, I’m going to provide some answers for common remarks I hear. years of your life.” You know what my answer has been for the last Opponents to evolution often say, “Evolution hasn’t been proven; it’s only a theory.” True.Do three years? “It gets worse?” But as I step back and think, high school you know what else is a scientific theory? Gravity. Using that logic, how can we be sure gravity is has taught me valuable lessons; high school has been a necessary real? A scientific theory is just a body of laws. According to the National Academy of Sciences, the learning experience, and I’d like to share with you the four biggest “scientific consensus around evolution is overwhelming,” and is even a fact, meaning that evidence lessons I’ve learned. has been “tested or observed so many times there is no compelling reason to keep testing or looking Lesson#1: Senioritis exists. I don’t care how scholarly you are or for examples.” how many clubs and sports you participate in, you’re going to get I also often hear the absurd comment, “If humans evolved from monkeys, why do we still have it. I’m a 3.9 student involved in several extra-curricular activities monkeys?” The misconception is that humans actually evolved from monkeys; we didn’t. Rather, we who for years told myself I would never get it, yet, I’ve contracted share a common ancestor with them. Just because a new species pops up on the globe doesn’t always the viral disease. Seniors get too caught up in the idea of college and mean it replaces an older one. going away to fully focus on their work. The frightening thing is, it’s very possible America could be taking steps backwards in regard to Let me offer you this: even if motivation is lacking or nonexistent, evolution and creationism education in schools. Presidential candidate Rick Perry has said that he’s a do work anyway. Blowing grades senior year can really mess up firm believer in intelligent design (a fancy way of saying “creationism” to make it seem scientific) and college plans. Even though you might get the serious urge to drop that he supports teaching both evolution and intelligent design in schools. In theory, that sounds like your pencil and pick up the phone, t.v. remote, or video game a good idea; however, intelligent design, creationism, creation science, whatever you call it, is not, and instead, do your work. Your future is important. In fact, studies never will be, science. Any logical person can see that it’s religion, pure and simple, and needs to stay show that passing high school is more important that an incoming out of public schools. text message (ha ha ;) ). In all seriousness, don’t let senioritis engulf It’s a shame that America is so behind in its acceptance of evolution compared to other countries. you. You’ll enjoy your senior year twenty times more than you In a poll of 34 countries, only Turkey had a lower percentage of people’s acceptance of evolution would getting F’s. Face it, if senioritis engulfedmy life, you wouldn’t (www.foxnews.com). The fact that presidential candidates continue to reject evolution is shocking. How be reading this article right now. can somebody be educated enough to run for president, but apparently not enough to understand Lesson#2: Profanity does not make you sound cool. Most evolution? It’s not a matter of faith or belief (the Catholic Church actually has accepted evolution), it’s teens go through a rebellious-language stage at some point, and a matter of acceptance; you just have to be open minded. I, admittedly, am no exception. That’s why I’m here to tell you Speaking of acceptance, why is homosexuality still an issue? This one confuses me more than that it doesn’t add to your social image other than make you more opposition to evolution. How exactly does two people of the same sex marrying hurt anybody, in prone to disdainful glances from peers. Just the other day on my any way? Some say it weakens marriage, but that doesn’t make much sense as it’s not as if they’re way to fourth period, three freshman girls were having an intense weakening the bond between an already married husband and wife, nor are they increasing the already conversation in which they cursed literally every other word, as if skyrocketing divorce rate. I don’t see the issue because it shouldn’t be an issue; we should be living in swear words were sentence enhancers. Come on, guys, tone it down. a world where people should be able to marry whom they want. Excessive swearing is outright rude and distasteful. No one wants Another issue that shouldn’t be: the debate over global warming; these debates can always be solved to hear it. We’re big girls and boys; we can make a point without by a two minute Google search. A recent report states 2011 is tied for the tenth hottest year on record dropping the F-bomb everywhere. since 1850 (www.huffingtonpost.com), and the thirteen hottest years have all occurred since 1997 www.( Lesson#3: Everyone will get wrapped up in drama. Drama guardian.co.tt). In the last 100 years, the temperature of Earth has seen a sharp increase, and more than sucks, but, it’s everywhere, especially in high school. Teens have the half of that increase has happened in the last three decades. While the temperature has raised only 1.4 innate behavior of igniting sticks of drama and watching as they degrees Fahrenheit in those 100 years, that’s still a large increase long-term. With glaciers melting, it’s explode. I’ve been through my share of drama the last three and a pretty conclusive global warming is, in fact, real. Whether man-made or not is a different debate. half years, and, although completely miserable, I learned one of the So, as America heads into the year 2012, I’d like Americans’ New Year’s resolution to be to open their most important lessons I have ever learned: life isn’t always peaches mind and do research before forming an opinion, as well as to start looking at the bigger picture. It’s and cream, not to sound ominous or harsh! I say this as an offering time to stop clinging onto the beliefs of the past and look into the future. of hope; learning that lesson now is easier than marching out into the real world and being STEPPED on. The He-Said-She-Said scenarios now prepare us for what is to come, making us stronger and competent in handling ourselves. Look beyond the walls of Lakeview and into the future; it puts it all into perspective. Lesson #4: It gets better. I don’t mean to sound like the string of Youtube videos, but… well, yes, I do. You know why? Because they’re right. It really does get better. Many times during my high school career, the “the world is ending for me” feeling has been undeniably present. Weeks have gone by where doing nothing but sleeping has been more than enticing. I’ve struggled with bullies, losing friends, self-esteem issues, failing test grades (Pre-Calc final, cough cough…), you name it. But, here I am now, in extremely high spirits, loving myself, and rearing to live my life. Despite that all may seem lost, I promise you, it isn’t. I might not know the struggles you’re fighting, but it gets better. People out there love you and will help you through it. The people worth keeping will never walk out of your life. Remember that. You have much in store. You can take control of your struggles and curb-stomp them. You are beautiful. These four lessons are what I offer you, my comrades, in my short high school saga. It’s only four years of your life. You can make it. As for me (and I think I speak for all the seniors), I’m beyond ready to move on to the next step in my life. Graduation can’t come soon enough. But, you know what? The journey was worth the while.
