Remember the mini-scandal that surfaced when Sue Vaughn, the Principal at the Orange County High School of the Arts (OCHSA), interfered with the publishing of the school paper because she didn’t like something that a student reporter wrote about a school vendor? That happened in September of last year. You can read all about it by clicking here.
Vaughn picked on the wrong student. The reporter’s mom turned out to be a media bigwig. Now it appears that her mom had major political pull too.
On Tuesday, State Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) introduced “SB 438 in response to Orange County High School of the Arts’ insistence that administrators broke no laws when they halted printing of the student newspaper in September over objections to its content, according to an Orange County Register report, because the laws apply to public schools, not charter schools,” according to the OC Weekly.

How pathetic—
Now everyone knows an administrator at OCHSA thinks she’s above the first amendment.
Hello!!!!
OCHSA is also in the U.S, duh!!!!
Do we really need to waste taxpayers’ dollars with this sort of unnecessary clarification.
Now we’ve kindergartened all charter schools-PUBLICLY because of OCHSA’s bad choice of a dingy administrator.
1st Amendment rights apply to all in our country!
SB438 huh– this sounds like the effects of a discrimination law suit/ proven violation of the student’s First Amendment Rights under the U.S Constitution.
YIKES!!
maybe now they will have to clarify to this “charter school”, that they must aid in the proper nourishment of its student by providing
healthier food choices.
Heard the charter K-8 school across the way OCEAA Orange County Educational Arts Academy has its own professional Chef for the children and all food: breakfast, lunch, and snacks is prepared daily-from scratch and HEALTHY!
Orange County High School of the Arts administrators should get some tips from them.
Maybe the O.J can go there and interview the Chef in order to help fix the damage that this event has caused to the reputation of Santa Ana schools.
