The Student Press Law Center is observing the first-ever Hazelwood Day of Action tomorrow, 30 years after the U.S. Supreme Court case that ruled that student journalists shed some of their constitutional rights at the school door. Because of the Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier decision, school administrators can remove material from student publications that they deem inappropriate.Tomorrow's observance will kick off a year of activities and collaborations meant to raise awareness about the importance of a free student news media and the need for New Voices legislation to protect student journalists' rights.
Planned events for tomorrow include Facebook Live discussions on the SPLC page, coordinated Twitter blasts, and an Instagram selfie challenge.
