Edu-News (03.19.2008)
Just one item this afternoon, which bears striking similarities to yesterday's story out of New Jersey:
[Linda] Kane, who took over the Central Times in 1989, developed the monthly newspaper into one of the best in the U.S., earning nine National Scholastic Press Association Pacemakers. That award is given annually to the top 20 to 25 high school papers in the nation.
She also was known for being candid. But she became a little too outspoken for Naperville Unit School District 203 administrators early this month when she publicly criticized her principal after the newspaper published three controversial pieces Feb. 28. On Monday, after Kane declined administrators' request that she resign, they fired her as newspaper adviser.
