Calfornia student reporters sue to gain access to confiscated campaign video

Dougherty High School student reporters in California are suing to obtain a campaign video and documents of a San Ramon Valley High School student running for student body president. The fictional video that ran on Twitter allegedly showed terrorists torturing a student and made racist and stereotypical references to Middle Eastern people. Parents of the student running for office are suing the district over its decision to ban the student from running for office. Few have seen the video and the student reporters felt that petitioning the court was the only way to get enough information to report the story.  (Student Press Law Center, November 1, 2017, by Emily Goodell)
