Gov. Doug Ducey says he believes in First Amendment rights for high school journalists, but only if they are supervised — and can be overridden by — school principals and administrators.
“I’m a believer of course in free speech and have been supportive of the First Amendment,” the governor told Capitol Media Services on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after vetoing legislation that would have limited the ability of school officials to censor what their students write. But Ducey said there are limits to those constitutional rights.
“These are minors,” he said.
