Expletives Deleted

As an English and journalism teacher and adviser for our student newspaper, I would be the last person to be in favor of censorship; I regularly use oft-banned books such as Lord of the Flies and The Catcher in the Rye in my classes. I'm confident, however, that Cissy Lacks ["Expletives Deleted,'' September] could continue to communicate her respect for students and encourage free expression while also keeping their language and behavior on a higher, more sophisticated level. Imposing guidelines and certain standards doesn't necessarily kill creative expression.
