A
Regents of University of California v. Bakke
B
Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier
C
Texas v. Johnson
D
New Jersey v. TLO
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It gave school officials the power to search students’ lockers and possessions without consent and the right to censor students’ speech as long as they had good reason. This meant students had very little legal rights when it comes to objecting school policy or invasion of privacy by school officials.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, 484 U.S. 260 (1988), the Supreme Court held that schools may restrict what is published in student newspapers if the papers have not been established as public forums.

Detailed explanation-3: -Decision: In 1988, the Supreme Court, with one vacancy, handed down a 5-3 decision in favor of the school. The Court reversed the appellate court, and said that public schools do not have to allow student speech if it is inconsistent with the schools’ educational mission.
