Which case viewed the issue of students' free speech rights in school contexts?

Korematsu v. United States
Hazelwood v Kuhlmeier
Plessy v. Ferguson
Mapp v. Ohio

The correct answer is: Hazelwood v Kuhlmeier

Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier is the correct answer because this case specifically dealt with students' free speech rights in school contexts. The Supreme Court ruled in this case that school officials have the authority to regulate school-sponsored newspapers and other expressive activities. This decision limited students' free speech rights in school-sponsored activities compared to non-school-sponsored activities. The other options are incorrect: A. Korematsu v. United States - This case dealt with the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II and issues of national security. C. Plessy v. Ferguson - This case involved racial segregation and the "separate but equal" doctrine. D. Mapp v. Ohio - This case focused on the exclusionary rule and the requirement for law enforcement to obtain a warrant when conducting searches and seizures.
