"I'm the former adviser to the yearbook and newspaper at Lenoir City High School," James Yoakley presented himself at the Knoxville Writer's Guild meeting Thursday night.
This time last year, the 13-year member of the Lenoir City School system never thought he would leave his position.
"I mean, the idea is student press rights and what students face and those issues," he said, talking about why he was at the meeting.
