Answer 1

The key factor that distinguished the Hazelwood case from Tinker is that **the newspaper was part of the school curriculum**. In the Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier case, the Supreme Court ruled that the school principal had the right to exercise editorial control over the content of the school-sponsored newspaper because it was considered a part of the school's curriculum, unlike the student speech in Tinker v. Des Moines, which was deemed to be a form of protected free speech.
