Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier was a Supreme Court case, and the court ruled on it in January 1988. It was a crippling blow to students’ First Amendment rights, and I am writing to protest it. The court held that school officials have the final say on public school newspapers, and students cannot complain when the paper is published as part of a class.________for decisions made for political reasons, principals are allowed to censor student newspapers, and they can get away with it. This censorship is prior restraint, and I do not________ it.
