A Pennsylvania school board voted to end mandatory streaming of a CNN-affiliate program in its middle school.
The Norwin School Board voted 5 to 4 Monday to end the mandated playing of CNN 10, which is described as “compact on-demand news broadcasts ideal for explanation seekers on the go or in the classroom.”
“On February 14, 2022 the Norwin School Board voted and approved the following: To remove watching TV during homeroom at the Middle School unless it is either student, teacher or administrator driven to allow students to socialize and interact with each other,” a representative told Fox News.
“It was further clarified that the board will allow teachers to use discretion and broadcast videos from all sources, including videos pertaining to patriotic holidays.”
These include videos regarding holidays and events like Veterans Day or the attack on Pearl Harbor, for example.
CNN 10 was initially added to the school’s required viewing material in 2019 after schools had previously viewed similar programs from Channel One.
