| | Why is the kindling important? |
 | | Four issues of the kindling, a combination of news and satire about life and people at the high school, were published anonymously by a group of seniors and distributed to students at DHS. |
 | | Take the boards policy against speech that is "biased, prejudiced, vulgar, profane, and unsuitable for immature audiences." That policy seems too broad to be of much help, but Griffith doesnt even say that it does not appear in the parent-student handbook, which serves as the students guide to conduct and discipline. |
 | | According to his column, he would punish students for "inappropriate" materials, and according to his memoranda to staff, he would do the same for "unsavory," "tasteless," "cruel," and "other unacceptable material." The arbiter of what is "tasteless" would no doubt be Griffith himself, at least until the school board could act. |
