By censoring the newspaper of the school, the rights of freedom of speech of the students was violated by the principal of the school.

Explanation:

When the principal of the Hazelwood school censored the newspaper of the school, the children of that school thought that their right of the freedom of speech was violated. As a result of this, they did file a case on the school and the principal for the violation of their right.

The ruling that the court gave in this case was that the Supreme Court held that schools may restrict what is published in student newspapers if the papers have not been established as public forums. This ruling went against the students of the school.
