The text discusses school censorship of student newspapers and references the Supreme Court case Hazelwood School District V. Kuhlmeier, which found that high school principals have the authority to censor school-sponsored student publications as long as it is "reasonably related" to educational concerns. The author expresses support for the First Amendment but believes that school officials should use their judgement in determining what is appropriate for publication. The author thanks the reader for contacting them.
