The basic qualitative research aimed to examine how campus administrators determined “legitimate pedagogical interest.” Based on the data, participants said that determining" legitimate pedagogical interest" ensured that student-created media was factual, unbiased, and aligned with district and state curriculum standards. Administrators decided to initiate prior review or prior restraint because of the community, politics, and current events, and district forces.
