Answer:

It ruled that school newspapers should not be allowed to publish speech that may offend.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court gave a ruling that limited free speech rights in the Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier case which permitted schools to only have publications which had gone public in the past so as to ensure that they were well-censored and not have offensive languages.

This was to ensure that the students were exposed to the right type of information for their age groups which was why the court ruled in favour of the Principal about him not violating the student’s rights.
