Reminds me of a story that appeared in THE NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN the other 
day.  It seems that the Nashville Metro School Board decided to no longer 
allow area high schools to publish the honor roll list in the local 
newspaper because it might hurt the feelings of  students who did not make 
the list, and their parents.  They went on to cite a federal law that 
protects the privacy of students  by prohibiting the publication of grade 
information.
