Step 1:

The school board cancelled a middle school drama class's spring play one week before the performance due to complaints from a parent about the play's appropriateness for middle school students. The students and their parents believed that the students had the right to freedom of expression in performing the play, while the school board believed that they had the right to approve decisions about what is presented in school by teachers or students.

This case, like Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, addresses the issue of student expression and the role of school officials in censorship.

The type of expression protected by the First Amendment in this case is freedom of speech.
