Key facts/ issue

This case started when the principal prevented the publication of certain articles in the school newspaper. The students then argued that this violated their First Amendment rights and took their case to the District court. The District Court ruled that the principal's actions did not violate their First Amendment rights, but when the students brought their case to the Court of Appeals, they reversed the lower court's decision and ruled that the paper can only be censored in extreme cases. Then, the Supreme Court ruled that the principal's actions did not violate the student's First Amendment rights.
