The newspaper was written and edited by a journalism class as part of the school’s curriculum. The teacher in charge of the paper submitted a copy of the issue to the principal who objected to some of the content and was concerned students might be identified by others reading the article.

Court decided in favor of the school saying the rights of students were not violated because students in school do not automatically have the same rights of adults in other settings.

| In 1986, the state of Michigan started a program in which police officers would set up checkpoints to briefly question drivers to see if there was evidence of drinking alcohol. If the officer was suspicious the driver had been drinking in the car, the driver would be asked to pull over for additional tests. The average time a driver was stopped was 25 seconds. The program was challenged all the way to the Supreme Court claiming that the basic rights of drivers were being violated. The Court held that the state’s interest in preserving safety in this case outweighed a degree of intrusion on individual motorists who were briefly stopped. The Court held that when a car was stopped and drivers examined, there was, in fact, an issue with an individual's ________________________, but that the level of this program did not create a violation of that basic right. |
