Final answer:
The Yeo v. Town of Lexington case Yeo won the case, setting a precedent for property rights. The correct option is a.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the case of Yeo v. Town of Lexington, Douglas Yeo, a parent and resident of Lexington, Massachusetts, sued the town's school committee after they refused to run an advertisement in the high school yearbook that promoted sexual abstinence. Yeo argued that the school's refusal violated his First Amendment right to free speech.
The First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favour of Yeo, finding that the school's refusal to run the ad was an unconstitutional restriction on Yeo's free speech rights. The court held that the school's yearbook was a forum for student expression and that the school could not censor student speech simply because it disagreed with the views expressed.
The Yeo case was a significant victory for property rights and free speech. It established the principle that the government cannot censor private speech on its property simply because it disagrees with the message. This principle has been applied in a number of other cases, including cases involving religious speech and political speech.
The correct option is a.
