Kansas doesn't allow prior review (as the story says it does), does it? I thought Kansas was one of the few states that didn't allow it.
PS: Thank you for updating. My day is complete.
Kansas allows prior "review" meaning the authority figure (usually principal) can LOOK at material before it's published, but they can not mandate changes. That would be prior restraint (censorship). Most principals don't practice it - if they look at published material it could increase their liability because they could become a party to the lawsuit if it were ever to come to that.
Also, most principals are just too stinkin' busy to micromanage at that level.
Student freedom of expression was also mentioned in the blogatorial section of today's Eagle ed page.
