Answer:

1st Amendment freedom of speech.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court case of Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988) involves the students and principal of Hazelwood East High School. The issue pertains to a report or stories about teen pregnancy and the impacts of divorce on children, which the school principal decided to delete without informing the student body.

This led to the court case, with the students claiming the principal violated their right to free speech. This freedom of speech is included in the First Amendment to the United States. And in a loss to the students, the court decided that the school had the right to remove contents it believed will be detrimental or bad for the overall student population.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
