Abstract

In the United States of America, over 295,516,700 citizens enjoy a considerable amount of freedom. A vast assortment of backgrounds, races, and occupations are compiled to make up the population of America. Although this diversity is combined to make a powerful country, it also brings internal conflict. All of the religions, ancestries, and different levels of financial stability make for a difficult audience for the media to please, especially if readers are better defined as students of schools that are financially supported by the government. The ongoing battle between the freedom to print material, regardless of restriction, and the freedom to place boundaries on the content of material, rages on. censorship serves as a complicated concept, with many layers. The age of the target audience that the publication caters to has successfully acquired the right of appropriate censorship in the landmark case hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier. Although this precedent was specifically fashioned for high school newspapers, some fear the standards set forth in the hazelwood case may infiltrate college campuses.
