This paper discusses five cases which deal with freedom of speech and expression in public schools. The paper looks at how the First Amendment is limited in one aspect in the school setting and discusses several cases where the courts placed limits on freedom of speech and expression in school.

From the Paper:

"The topic I have chosen is whether or not a school has the right to prohibit certain speech and expression which although lawful, the school does not approve of from being disseminated on school grounds. I have chosen this topic because it is important for those in the school system to understand what the right to free speech in the school environments entails. Furthermore, it is important for school students to understand the extent of their First Amendment rights in a school setting to avoid possible problems. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees that every citizen shall have the right of freedom of speech and expression."
