As preservers of democracy, schools should encourage, protect, and enhance free speech and a positive exchange of ideas. This is the goal of The Voice. The Voice is a student-produced newspaper published every four weeks by Huntley High School’s Publications Production students. The Voice is an open forum for student expression and discussion of issues of concern to its audience. The Voice’s editorial board will determine the content of the newspaper and all editorials. As a result, material may not necessarily reflect the opinions of the officials of Huntley High School or District 158. Signed columns or reviews only reflect the views of the author. The staff will publish only legal protected speech, following the legal definitions for libel, obscenity, and invasion of privacy. The Voice will not avoid publishing a story solely because of possible dissent or controversy. Letters to the editor should be 300 words or less and sent to the high school, room 224. All letters must be signed. The editorial board reserves the right to edit material for length, grammar, libelous statements, and invasion of privacy.
