The Supreme Court case that upheld a public school principal's decision to censor a school newspaper was Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988). This case determined that school officials can censor student speech in school-sponsored activities as long as they have a valid educational reason for doing so. The landmark case that established students' free speech rights in schools was Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969), and Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas (1954) was a case that struck down the principle of "separate but equal" in public education.
