The drama class at a middle school was preparing for their spring play in the school auditorium. One week before the performance, a parent complained to the school board that the play was inappropriate for middle school students. The school board agreed and contacted the principal, who then informed the classes that the show was canceled. Students were upset that their preparations were a waste. They believe they have the right to freedom of expression in performing the play. The school board said that students are minors and that it must approve decisions about what is presented in school by teachers or students. The students did not have time to plan a different show. A group of the students’ parents brought the case to court on their behalf, but they lost the case in state district court. The students’ parents appealed the district court’s decision to their state court of appeals. There the students and their parents won the case, but the school board appealed the decision to their state-level supreme court. The state supreme court ruled in favor of the school board. Unhappy with the state supreme court’s decision, the students’ parents are now appealing to the U. S. Supreme Court.

Which type of expression listed in the First Amendment relates to this case?

ahhh This is a case in which apparently students can appeal to the fulfillment of the First Amendment that states the Freedom of Speech but I think that we have to remember that in any case our rights finish when we interfere with other peoples's rights.

I believe that schools, teachers and parents must get an agreement about what is good and bad for students because they are not mature enough to decide by themselves.

In the case Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier the supreme court rules in favor of the school board and make the difference between a private forum and a public forum stating that a school is a private forum.

Imagine that students were allowed to do whatever they want and present whatever play they wish then the school would have no rules and when a place has no rules it becomes jungle law.

in this scenario it would be the consumer demand as most influential in making the decision. the band members need to figure out where and from whom they will make the most money, in other words who out of the two consumer groups - football fans or car drivers - will spend their money, who is more likely to contribute to their cause and buy what they are offering.
