2) Did you tend to favor loose or strict interpretation of the laws and rights of each case? 3) what factors most influenced your decision and interpretation in each case?
(25 points!!)

Answer 1

Answer:

1. I tended to favor a loose interpretation for this case. Although students have the right to express their opinions, it is necessary for restrictions in order to avoid mayhem within the student body. I believe that the school was properly protecting its students’ rights and representing the interest of the majority. Yes, newspapers are a form of public expressions but it is a school environment and the faculty has every right to alter the paper as needed.

2. Summary of the Decision. The Supreme Court ruled against the students in a 5-3 decision. Justice White wrote the majority opinion, concluding that the First Amendment does not prevent school officials from exercising reasonable authority over the content of school-sponsored publications.

3. The factor that most influenced your decision and interpretations in this case was the First Amendment. I believe the First Amendment to be very important because a minor should have the right to assembly in public places without being cited because they were out past curfew.
