    Robert Reynolds, the principal at Hazelwood East High School, looks over the page proofs that were to be published for The Spectrum, the school-sponsored newspaper. The Spectrum was a student newspaper, published every three weeks as part of a Journalism II class. The class distributed around 4500 copies not only to other students, but also sold copies to community members. Hazelwood School District paid for most of the costs of producing the newspaper, however.
    Normally, principal Reynolds would be excited to read each new issue. However, this time he found two of the articles in the upcoming issue inappropriate. One story was about teen pregnancy, and included interviews with students at Hazelwood East who had been pregnant. That said, the story used fake names for the girls. Reynolds thought that folks would still figure out who they were, though. Reynolds also thought the article’s references to sex and birth control were not appropriate for younger kids at the school to read about. The second article dealt with divorce, and also brought up personal things that might reveal embarrassing personal family matters involving the students interviewed for it.
    Now, instead of giving the students who reported on and edited the story a chance to respond, Reynolds went ahead and cut out the stories from the issue, and in doing so had to omit seven articles from it. So instead of being a six-page issue, it was a four-page issue. The students only found out that the articles had been left out when the issue had been released on May 13.
    The three students involved with the two articles were reporters Leslie Smart and Lee Ann Tippett, and the editor Cathy Kuhlmeier. As you could imagine, they were very upset the articles didn’t get published, especially since The Spectrum’s advisor, Robert Stergos, had previously approved them. Kuhlmeier, Smart, and Tippett all confronted Principal Reynolds about what he did. Reynolds told the girls that the stories were “inappropriate, personal, sensitive, and unsuitable.” Well they were certainly not cool with that explanation, and made copies of the deleted articles and distributed them to other students on school premises anyway. They were not punished for that, by the way.
    Later, arguing that the school had violated their First Amendment rights to freedom of speech AND freedom of the press, Kuhlmeier, Smart, and Tippett sued the school district and got their case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The District Court agreed with Hazelwood, saying that because Hazelwood mostly paid for the newspaper, they could control what was in it. Kuhlmeier and the rest appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which reversed the lower court’s decision, saying that nope, the newspaper was a “public forum” that went beyond the walls of the school.
    And wouldn’t you know it, this time Hazelwood appealed to the Supreme Court. It heard oral arguments on October 13, 1987. Yep, by this time the girls had long graduated from Hazelwood East High School. Still fighting, though. I like it.

    I remember a student in my high school saying the strict dress code violated Freedom of Expression. Found out later the school bribed her not to take them to court so they could keep it. I have no idea who would have won, but the school was definitely obsessed enough with their dress code to have taken it to the Supreme Court.

    As a school student myself, I disagree with the Supreme Court's ruling in this case. I think that in my humble opinion, it violates the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, and that we school students should not be censored when writing in the high school newspaper, especially when we talk about teen pregnancy and divorce, which I think is something that should be talked about in school.

      As the Former President of the student journalism board, a actually have to disagree. The Editorials in the paper were always the talk of the town, and if extremely sensitive or embarrassing subjects are in it, they can disrupt learning. Another thing is, the school isn’t forced to pay for the paper at all. The Principal could’ve shut us down, so given that, it seems fair to not run an article about teen pregnancy.

Not even the Communist manifesto or Mein Kampf as those books help you realize how even the worst people were humans and you could become a monster like Hitler.

    I do agree that the Courts got this one right. A publication no matter the source should get final say in what is published in their publication as any speech made in its publication will be seen as speech endorsed by the publication itself and not the writer. If a private News corporation doesn't want to report on an issue for any reason, they have the right not to, even if their staff has already written the story. That doesn't prohibit the staff from publishing it elsewhere however.
    This case shouldn't be viewed as carte blanche to Censor anything or everything at school, just for the school to not have this speech portrayed as its position by printing it in the school newspaper.

    In the 60’s & 70’s everything that was “establishment” was met with “anti” it was just a way of life. Cutting class by many was considered Flipping the proverbial bird at the principal or who ever chased those escaping. Smoking in the bathrooms & not just the regular stuff either was just to say if you tell “us” we can’t, then we will. I wasn’t that enlightened. My family were essentially immigrants & it was not done. I agree with the students in this because they have reasons & sex in high school, teen pregnancy & the communication crash needed & still needs to be available. Especially with the STD’s , date drugs. The students are smarter than they are given credit for.
    By pretending that sex, pregnancy & parents divorcing or living in a violent household doesn’t exist just makes it harder for students or families in need reach out for help.

    Letting a school choose what their students are allowed to say is very scummy, but it's within the laws of our land, therefor this was the righty decision.

    I mean, the judgement does make sense, since if it's school sponsored, it may give the school a "bad name" if the district is conservative, and since there was no ban about talking about those topics or making photocopies independently and distributing them. But on the uni level.....no, since students pay so much to attend college that one should consider the uni the government and the students taxpayers, and thus, it's their own money sponsoring it.

    I think If the school went so far as to prevent the students from privately reprinting the articles, and distributing it all themselves, then I think that would be a clear violation of their free speech. I personally don't believe the material is objectionable, but I do think the school was within their rights to remove the articles.
    The school should definitely have been transparent about it to the students though.

      the right yes, but what about the CAUSE?
      these reasons were bullshit. As long as anybody interviewed was protected by reasonable journalistic standards (names redacted) and was willingly participating, it is not the principals job to determine if they could tell their story or not.
      The advisor saw no problem, which shows they did take sensible steps to protect their interviewees and the Principal was once again putting personal morals over a reasonable standard of professional conduct.

      @@iammrbeat I guess it might not apply to this situation like I thought it did since I was thinking about how the funding of the newspaper by the school could override the freedom of press. However thinking deeper it is the school's paper regardless of who's writing the stories (students or faculty) and they have final say in what goes in it. The reporters could still keep the story in if they ran their own publication. My original comment applies more to the theoretical "would you vote against your conscience in exchange for a payment" so it's pretty irrelevant to this situation

Des Monines is on my side, bad case but awsome video still, I love this channel, this is one of my favorite series why does it take so long for another Case, when you first came up with this cases you made more vids, I am here for HI-STORY (a story) and a case is a story, well at least you got one of this vids slaped right in the middle of a Cyper video, also I wnated to ask mainly about school, you are goign back to buissness, and I am too, I feel nervious because teachers don't have as much influene on us virtually, this si goign to be a hard year, and I feel worried and a little sceared, but still this videos realx me they are fun, simple cool and short, you are the leader of history on social midea, I love this cases I love your videos and peopel you should subscribe because mr. beat nearly allways tells the truth, he is not bias, he is just a kindharted guy tellign us why america became so awsome, histor is not only important because it cool it is like when techers took you to the librery sat you on the floor and told you a storie, that is history a cool true storie, you keep making this awsoem work Mr. Beat because this channel is like a drug it is adictive but unlike a drug it actually does good to the brain so cool, and those songs should eb more recognized cuz you and your brother made the band of the decade, I can't stop dancing when I here your songs, if they do a third Llive Aid concert you must be there man, now If their is someone who reads my comments apart form Mr. Beat himself, you might have the theorie I am being paid to make Mr beat propaganda, well WRONG I do disagree with him on only one little big thing, PRESIDENTS!!! of all things, yeah Mr. Beat made a tier list of Presidents a few months ago and it is terrible, sorry Mr. beat but only slave owning George in the S tier, he didn't only own slaves he is only rememebered for being the first presdient and being the first to do a bunch of stuff, is like if you were golorified for your first day of work, he didn't even have policitical expirience, his life is also noy that intersting, Washington is also not exacly a great military comander just look at the losses of 1777, Philadelphia was captured for cring out loud (the capital Philadelphia not the cream philadelphia why will British want cream) , his soldiers where freezing, starving and supplieless, they also had little to no military training, and when they tried to escape to their families for their own survival so that their childern won't lose their father, Georie just sent them to the fiering esquad or hanged them, he also called Benedict Arnold (the best commander of the conflict who should have becomed President) well George just send him a letter telling him he was inaptopiate, promting Arnold to swich sides thus giving Washington the Presidency, Ulysses Grant was a far suppirior military commander, look at Shilo, Fort Henry and Donelson, Corinth, Vicksburg, and Abe Lincoln who had it hard scince childhood, and he gave all his phisical, political, mental, and genious stregth to save this countries but, he fell into deppresion twice, lost his mom, syster, and first romance, he GOT THE B TIER, OMG, also he is with FDR in the tier who is the reson why europe is not a Nazi empier today, Madison who wrote the freacking Constitution in B tier, Jackson and John Q in the same tier, Regan in C tier, Polk in C tier who is the reson for the US to be the US, Adams in the D, Grant in the d, Johnson only for the Vietnam war at D, Obama who saved us from the recession at D, Nixon at F who was calmed our relation ship with the Soviets, and Cleveland abobe Roosvelt, and only silly george gets S, well my theorie is that Mr. beat had too much vodka that day and was drunk for the tier list, don't worrie Mr. Beat we all get drunk from time to time, anyway still with that exeption all else is great hard work, god bless you Mr. beat, it was an awsoem video you are still great, and I still love you great work in the vid byeeeeeee

    Great Vid! My late father was a high school newspaper advisor. I recently found nasty letters from parents because he did not sensor certain content from the newspaper, but it was a movie review of Carnal Knowledge. I also remember having an interview I did with two outrageous girls for my high school newspaper censored in 1974. Never figured out who deleted my reference to gay bars. Finally, in college the student newspaper went off-campus to ensure their independence which has grown and continues to this day chico.newsreview.com
