Question

Freedom of speech: You might write about whether schools should have the right to limit what is discussed or covered in a student newspaper or a student news broadcast. (There is a Supreme Court ruling stating that school officials cannot censor student expression unless there is reasonable proof that such expression can disrupt school activities.)

Answer 1

The First Amendment guarantees the right to freedom of speech, but schools may have the right to limit student expression if it disrupts school activities or interferes with the rights of others.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the United States, the First Amendment guarantees the right to freedom of speech. However, the extent to which this right applies in schools can be limited. According to a Supreme Court ruling, school officials cannot censor student expression unless there is reasonable proof that such expression can disrupt school activities.

This means that if anything is reasonably related to valid pedagogical issues or if it materially interferes with school discipline or the rights of others, schools may be entitled to restrict what is said or published in a student newspaper or student news program.

Ultimately, the aim is to strike a balance between allowing students to express themselves and maintaining a safe and productive learning environment.

Answer 2

Schools should not limit what is discussed and correct in a student newspaper or news.

Step-by-step explanation:

We live in a country with press freedom. This means that no institution has the freedom to limit any news provided in a newspaper or news, even if these news outlets are student and submissive to school.

The right to press freedom is defended in the first constitutional amendment and there is no amendment that states that this right does not include the press, which means that, legally, schools cannot limit what is discussed or covered in a newspaper or student news, running the risk of being indicted on the basis of the first constitutional amendment, if you refuse to obey it.
