No Phone Censorship in PTA Debate Across Nation
The National Congress of Parents and Teachers faces right wing attacks over its push for equal educational opportunities. Bell Telephone’s answer service carried a smear linking the PTA to a federalized schooling in Russia, prompting a protest from PTA president Mrs. Jennelle Moorhead. The issue centers on whether a phone company may censor content on its announcement service, with company spokesmen insisting they cannot pick or limit messages. The PTA may seek libel remedies, but the broader question is the potential harm of censorship. Congress appears set to back billboard control legislation, with Mother Nature perhaps still at play.
