Question

Which statement is true about the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hazelwood school District v.Kuhlmeier

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is the last choice, "It stated that the rights of public school students to publish content in school sponsored newspapers is not protected by the First Amendment."

Explanation:

The decision by the Supreme Court was decided by a 5-3 vote, which upheld the school's right to censor articles in school sponsored newspapers. The Supreme Court stated that the newspaper was not intended as a public forum but rather a limited forum for journalism students to write articles subject to school editing that met the requirements of that Journalism class. Since the paper was sponsored by the school. the school had the right to prevent the publication of articles they felt were inappropriate.
