Censorship- Because all Sean Simonson wanted to do in the newspaper is to express his feeling about gays. The Catholic school had no right to pull it off. This story did not hurt anyone personally. All that he wanted to say is that people should rise together to stop the severe bullying that goes on with gays.
Bias- I agree that the school should not have taken off the story like that but Sean still could of showed both sides of the story. Sean knows how Catholics feel about this topic and might have written something concerning that issue. People don't necessarily need to agree with him but they should not bully gays like the school basically did with the CD. Sean knows the controversial topic that this and should have seen these comments coming.
Summary-Sean Simonson is an openly gay student at St. Margaret's, a Catholic school. He writes a story online and for the school newspaper about his going out and how we should stop the bullying that goes on to gays. The school bans the story from being published and takes of the story online. On top of the they send all the students homes a CD about how they plan to ban gay marriage. This is a very difficult issue to see who is right and wrong in this situation.
