Read this excerpt from a passage.
A famous Supreme Court case involving this issue occurred in 1988 in Hazelwood y. Kuhlmeier. The principal of Hazelwood
East High School prohibited two topics from being printed in the school newspaper. Hazelwood East students brought the case
to court, arguing that their First Amendment right to free speech had been violated. In this case, the court ruled that the principal
did not violate the students' free speech right. The court pointed out that the school newspaper was not a "public forum," and
that, therefore, students did not have the
same First Amendment rights as other journalists.
