- This is silly!
- Principal Robert Reynolds
- I had every right to take out those pages in order to ensure that the newspaper kept the identities of certain individuals private and that content of the newspaper was appropriate for all it's student readers at Hazelwood East High. I'll tell the court as much.

- I, Justice White, speak for the majority of five. We have decided that educators do not offend the First Amendment by exercising editorial control over the style and content of student speech in school-sponsored expressive activities so long as their actions are reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns. Our reasoning is that school newspapers are not public forums as public forums are open for indiscriminate use of free speech by the general public, but school officials have control over school publications in order to ensure that they are in line with the school’s curriculum, mission, and view of what is or is not inappropriate material for the maturity of their readers. We share the opinion that a previous case, Tinker v. Des Moines, which ruled in favor of free speech in schools, is not applicable to Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier because Tinker had asked whether schools must tolerate certain student speech and Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier questions whether schools must endorse this student speech.
- I, Justice Brennan, speak for the minority of three. We hold that public educators must accommodate some student expression even if it offends them or offers views or values that contradict those the schools wishes to inculcate as was decided in Tinker Des. Moines.
- The Supreme Court

- Yes. The Supreme Court ruled that I was justified in taking out the pages. In fact, now there is a precedent that all public schools have the power to regulate and censor school-based activities such as school newspapers.
- So now you can just censor our newspaper?
