∙ 7y ago
In the case of the Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the students of Hazelwood High School that were publishing a school-wide newspaper were subject to reviews and edits by public school officials.
In other words, Principal Robert Reynolds had the right to omit the two pages from the newspaper that he deemed to be inappropriate for the school to view. The individual rights of Freedom of Speech of the students in the journalism class were not violated as forums for student expression were of a lower level of First Amendment protection than the protection of individual students and staff. Also because the newspaper was school-sponsored, those participating in it were subject to obligations by the sponsor (in this case Principal Robert Reynolds).

∙ 13y agoHazelwood School District et al. v. Kuhlmeier (1988) was a United States Supreme Court decision which held that public school curricular student newspapers that have not been established as forums for student expression are subject to a lower level of First Amendment protection than independent student expression or newspapers established as forums for student expression.
The court ruled in favor of the Hazelwood School District, the justices believing that the censorship did not violate the student's First Amendment rights of free speech.
