Book excerpt: It is our opinion that the Kansas State High School Activities Association is authorized by statute to make reasonable rules regarding activities. In effect, such rules become a civil contract between the members of the association, and are valid if reasonable and not in contravention of the law. Those subject to the rule include the high schools and their employees, as well as students. A rule, as interpreted by the association, which defines sportsmanship, is constitutional and not violative of First Amendment rights so long as it is enforced only when conduct materially disrupts the school activity or involves substantial disorder or invasion of the right of others. Student expression may be restricted to the extent of reasonable time, place and manner regulations imposed to conform with the forum's basic requirements.
