Scramble Band - Censorship

Censorship

In recent years, administrators at many schools have taken steps to rein in their scramble bands' more embarrassing attempts at humor. These have included:

  • Requiring approval of show content
  • Replacing student leaders with university faculty or staff
  • Refusing to allow the band to perform (a step occasionally also taken by a host school during away games)
  • Dissolution of the band

Famous quotes containing the word censorship:

    “Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
    —Mae West (1892–1980)

    “... a phallocentric culture is more likely to begin its censorship purges with books on pelvic self-examination for women or books containing lyrical paeans to lesbianism than with See Him Tear and Kill Her or similar Mickey-Spillanesque titles.”
    —Robin Morgan (b. 1941)

    “... censorship often boils down to some male judges getting to read a lot of dirty books—with one hand.”
    —Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
