From season 4 of Room 222:
A student (guest star Jane Actman, The Paul Lynde Show) runs into unexpected opposition from the school newspaper's faculty advisor (Ivor Francis) when her work contains some coarse language.
Here's "Bleep":
Ivor Francis would split time in season 5 between his recurring role as Mr. Dragen and a regular gig on the syndicated Dusty's Trail with Bob Denver & Forrest Tucker. He even made a rare appearance on General Hospital, acting opposite his daughter, Genie, who had become a breakout star on the soap in the late 70's and early 80's.
Personal note: I took a 1/2 year course in journalism at Troy High, and even wrote a piece or two for the school's now defunct student newspaper. There were no issues with censorship at Troy, though.
Rating: A.
