Significance: Schools have the right to not sponsor speech that has no significance. It showed that all Americans have rights, but those rights can be limited depending on where they are.
Quote: "Petitioners are the Hazelwood School District in St. Louis County, Missouri; various school officials; Robert Eugene Reynolds, the principal of Hazelwood East High School; and Howard Emerson, a teacher in the school district. Respondents are three former Hazelwood East students who were staff members of Spectrum, the school newspaper. They contend that school officials violated their first amendment rights by deleting two pages of articles from the May 13, 1983, issue of Spectrum."
