Book excerpt: Under the United States Supreme Court decision in H̲a̲z̲e̲l̲w̲o̲o̲d̲ ̲S̲c̲h̲o̲o̲l̲ ̲D̲i̲s̲t̲r̲i̲c̲t̲ ̲v̲.̲ ̲K̲u̲h̲l̲m̲e̲i̲e̲̲r̲, local public school officials and administrators may exercise reasonable control over activities sponsored by a public school such as publications, theatrical productions and other expressive activities so long as the educators' actions are reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns and there is no intent to create a public forum. Also, Section 11 of the Kansas Bill of Rights does not provide an absolute right to freedom of speech and expression. Students in private, accredited schools are subject to reasonable school regulations. The H̲a̲z̲e̲l̲w̲o̲o̲d̲ decision applies to public schools on its facts, and does not apply to non-public schools.
