Detailed explanation-1: -Summary. In Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, the Supreme Court clarified some of the limits on First Amendment rights for public school students.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tinker v. Des Moines is a historic Supreme Court ruling from 1969 that cemented students’ rights to free speech in public schools.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kuhlmeier (1988) 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-4: -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.
