Recognizing February 27, 2025, as Student Press Freedom Day

Assembly Resolution K 116 designates February 27, 2025, as "Student Press Freedom Day" in recognition of the Student Press Law Center's annual observance. This symbolic resolution does not create new laws or affect anyone's rights; it merely acknowledges student journalism's role in democracy and the ongoing advocacy against censorship. The resolution references the Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier Supreme Court case and supports student journalists' First Amendment protections. It directs the Legislative Body to recognize the day and send copies to the Student Press Law Center and New Voices of New York.
