1988-Hazelwood+v.+Kuhlmeier


 * __Summary__** -

The principal at Hazelwood East High School decided to remove to pages from the school newspaper saying that the articles were inappropriate. One article was about teen pregnancy and he felt it didn’t give anonymity to the girl. The other article was about divorce and how one girl felt like her father was never there. The principal felt like it denied journalistic fairness because the father never gave his side. The students filed suit saying it went against their right to freedom of speech. The Supreme Court disagreed and ruled in favor of the school siting the principal had a right to censorship the student paper because the articles were contrary to the school’s educational mission.
