Tinker vs. Des Moines See Student Armbands case Supreme Court decided that freedom of expression “does not end at the schoolhouse door” Speech can only be restricted when it “materially and substantially disrupts” the educational process

Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeir (1988) Supreme Court decided that a school CAN censor a school newspaper If they can show that the message is inconsitent with their education mission (advocating drug or alcohol use would be an example) If the message is vulgar or lewd in some manner. School can not censor simply because they disagree with idea (such as opposing gun control)

School Dress Code While all cases are different the courts have tended to rule with the schools and against the students if the school can show that the dress did one of the following. Caused a potential disruption to the learning process, or Was dangerous in some way, (gang attire)

That’s it for today, stay classy PR!
