BRD[edit]

It's generally bad form to revert another editor's reversion of your own edits as you recently did at University of Utah. It's great that you added new material to the article but when another editor objects to your edits enough to revert them then you should begin a discussion in the article's Talk page instead of beginning an edit war. That allows us to seek a consensus about the material in question instead of having editor's battle it out with reverts and limited comments in edit summaries.

So could you please revert your edits and open a discussion in Talk? Thanks so much! ElKevbo (talk) 16:50, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Response[edit]

Sorry, haven't had the need to revert anything before, was not aware of what is an is not in good form. I personally would have thought you'd talk to me before deleting it in the first place. I have never had anyone just delete my contribution. It looks like it's been deleted. I think I'll just leave it like that, I don't have the energy to argue. If the article can have a section on a bike path then I don't see why it can't have a section on student rights. If you feel like you would like to put it back int he content is here, thanks.

Student Rights[edit]

The University of Utah provides it's students with a Student Bill of Rights. This primarily contains rights which are already legally protected, but also contains a few institution specific rights which are not mandated by the state or federal government. These include, for instance, classroom rights and academic freedom rights.[1]  The university also has a Faculty Code which regulates faculty conduct, effectively providing students with additional rights. This information, however, is not contained in the student code, in one comprehensive document so students may find it difficult to access all student rights information available. The following are the rights contained in the University of Utah Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities and the Faculty Code. Many of these are rather vague, however, and may not be specific enough to limit arbitrary, capricious or discriminatory decision making.[2]

Proposed Article[edit]

Hi

I wrote the following:

American student rights to read The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) through its Executive Committee reaffirmed ther Guideline on the Students Right to Read in November 2012. The statement was first developed in 198. It was modified in April 2009 in compliance with the NCTE Policy on the Involvement of People of Color. Another revision was made in September 2018. http://www2.ncte.org/statement/righttoreadguideline/ The Students’ Right to Read presents resources that can facilitate discussions and guarantee students’ unhampered access to all texts. The beginning of the Students’ Right to Read refers to an original NCTE statement entitled, “Request for Reconsideration of a Work,” prepared by the Committee on the Right to Read of the National Council of Teachers of English.” The present Students’ Right to Read statement embodies a revised second edition building on the work of NCTE members that will ensure students have the freedom to choose to read any text and prevent “efforts of individuals or groups to curtail the freedom of choice of others.” Freedom of Speech: The Students' Right to Read (And Speak): Sources for Help in Formulating Policy Thomas L. Tedford The English Journal Vol. 63, No. 9 (Dec. 1974), pp. 14-16 Censorship is one of the threats to education. The problem of censorship is that it does not give students an adequate and clear picture of values, ideals, and issues of their culture. Donelson, K. L. (1972). The students' right to read. Urbana, Ill.]: National Council of Teachers of English. Censorship in schools has become a complex situation. Variables involved affect the way young students learn as well as the method of schools in educating children. Censorship in educational institutions is a complex situation because there are many variables that can affect the way children learn and the manner by which schools educate young learners. Censorship in schools usually exists in the form of the removal or manipulation of materials or learning processes. Censorship in Schools Victoria Sherrow Enslow, 1996 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 128 pages NCAC The National Coalition against Censorship (NCAC) compiled materials related to censorship in schools that students, parents, and educators can use.

Do you find it relevant or useful?

Will appreciate your feedback.

Thank you
