Amendment 1: Freedom of the Press

In 1988, A student at in a journal newspaper class decided to write articles on teen pregnancy. The class thought that it would be right for teens to know about pregnancy and be prepaired and make the students worth the weight.After the newspapers were passes out the teachers,parents and some students were ferious, because they thought the conversation was inappropriate for the students at ages 13 and 14. Also the school officials    also had a issue that the subject was not school related.

By 5-3 vote of the press about the issue(parents,teachers,students,and judge) they excepted the issue so the student will know what to be carefull about and to know what to expect for now and later!

"A school must also retain the authority to refuse to sponsor student speech that might reasonably be perceived to advocate drug or alcohol use, irresponsible sex, or 'conduct otherwise inconsistent with the shared values of a civilized social order,' or to associate the school with any position other than neutrality on matters of political controversy." (Justice Byron White)

The school never adopted a policy whereby the publication simply became a public forum open to any and all views. The school administration there for properly acted as editor of the newspaper. And will alow subjects like the one that had the issue but need to be appropriate for younger students
