Answer:

The landmark January 1988 decision in Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier was a giant step back for student press and speech rights. Unlike an earlier Supreme Court ruling that established the so-called Tinker Standard, the Hazelwood decision declared students do shed some of their Constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate.Feb 21, 2013

Step-by-step explanation:

#1: Hazelwood is a presence at the college level.

#2: The Hazelwood ruling lays out a long, vague, subjective list of justifications for school censorship.

#3: In a Hazelwood dispute, students or student media have an incredibly hard time claiming victory.

#4: Many students no longer fight speech and press censorship.

#5 Students are entering college timid and unaware of the power of journalism and free expression.

#6: The next avenue of expression with the potential to fall under Hazelwood’s scope is online.

#7: Don’t expect the courts — Supreme or otherwise — to help mitigate or overturn Hazelwood.

#8: There are a few ways to fight back.
