Why? There aren't 2 sides to every issue. What possible justification are you imagining for charging a 13 year old with a felony for recording a conversation with his school principals?

In cases that are so obviously appalling, like this one, covering the issue with an obvious slant contributes nothing. In today's outrage-saturated world it may even turn people away from reading your piece. State the facts (in an interesting/informative way) and let the reader fill in the blanks with their own opinion. This is how good writing works!
