Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988)

http://www.socialstudieshelp.com/CourtCases.htm

This case is basically telling you how students should have freedom of speech. As stated in the text”the school’s policies did not reflect an intent to expand the students’ rights by converting a curricular newspaper into a public forum.” The school policy is just not right.  I agree with the arguement. This freedom of the press extends in some schools.Some school do not have it, because the school  policy does not agree with it and schools such as public schools most likely gives the freedom of press especially in my school. However, we should have this arguement with my school’s uniform policy.Us students should have the right to express their personality, which would be similar to the tinker case. Schools that does not have a freedom of press in their school policy, are making fools of their selves.  You can only understand what a child or a student is telling you when u give them freedom of press. If their isn’t, you would never get an answer to the question.
