Student at Fond du Lac High School staged a sit-in over a censorship policy enacted after an article on rape culture in the school drew criticism from the principal and superintendent. The story, titled The Rape Joke, was published in the February issue of Cardinal Columns, a student magazine produced through a journalism class.
About 50 students staged a protest at Fond du Lac High School over censorship policies, according to the Fond du Lac Reporter.
The protest comes amid a policy enacted in response to a student journalist's story about attitudes toward rape at the school.
Media who showed up to cover the sit-in were not allowed in the school, according to the Fond du Lac report.
The story, titled "The Rape Joke," was published in the February issue of Cardinal Columns, a student magazine produced through a journalism class.

Social media companies that give users a greater sense of control can ease them into interface changes, as well as curb defections to competitors, according to researchers.
"Several studies have looked into how social media companies have failed," said Pamela Wisniewski, a post-doctoral scholar in information sciences and technology, Penn State. "What we need to think about is how social media companies can be more adaptive and how they can improve the longevity of their sites.
In a study of the reaction to the introduction of Facebook's Timeline interface between 2011 and 2012, researchers found that users considered the mandatory transition to the new interface highly stressful. They also found evidence that suggests that giving users a voice can give them a sense of control to better adapt to new online environments.
Facebook's Timeline interface allowed users to access posts by date, highlighted certain events and set privacy controls to remove, modify visibility or hide posts on their page. The company initially provided a blog to release information to users, but then closed the blog, said Wisniewski, who worked with Heng Xu, associate professor of information sciences and technology, Penn State, and Yunan
Chen, assistant professor of informatics, University of California, Irvine. Denying users the ability to use the blog as a place to voice their concerns and give feedback may have thwarted one of the positive strategies people use to cope with changes in their environment, the researchers said. People who feel more in control become focused on solving problems and adjusting to the change, while those who do not feel they have control tend to focus on their emotions and resort to more negative coping strategies.
The researchers, who presented their findings today (April 30) at the Association for Computing Machinery's Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, said that 67 percent of users' coping strategies in the Timeline transition were negative. The users complained, threatened to switch to another social network and urged others to drop Facebook.
"Without giving people a way of offering feedback, you make them feel less empowered and they have more of a feeling of hopelessness," said Wisniewski.
