You Be The Editor: Did NIC Staff Make Right Call?

Nils Rosdahl, adviser for the North Idaho College Sentinel, just dropped off the first copy of the newspaper this year. It was published without a photo of one candidate for student government — who was wearing nothing but a tree leaf. Over his, ah, privates. Seems a coupla teachers objected when Leaf Boy (I’ll get a name for him later in the day) put his posters up around school. And the posters were taken down. Nils thought the Sentinel should have published the nearly nekkid photo of Leaf Boy. But the Sentinel editors decided not to do so because the student body election is tomorrow. They didn’t want to give Leaf Boy an advantage/disadvantage.

Question: Did Sentinel editors make the right call?
