Some believe this to be a case of inappropriate censorship, violating freedom of the press, and see the school district as guilty of unconstitutionally censoring dissenting and controversial material. Others believe the school district is within their constitutional authority, taking appropriate action to prevent obscene and detrimental material from being distributed to the student body. The two Supreme Court cases which govern this area of the law, "Tinker vs. Des Moines" (1969) and "Hazelwood vs. Kuhlmeier" (1988), are somewhat contradictory; the question of whether the paper is a "Tinker paper" or a "Hazelwood paper" is likely to be important to the outcome. "Tinker papers", established as "open forums", are relatively exempt from school censorship, while "Hazelwood papers", established as "limited public forums", are allowed more school control and restriction.
