Re: High School Cuts Mic During Valedictorian Speech
The Supremes have ruled that school sponsored events have a lesser level of protection of 1st amendment rights, Hazelwood School District et al. v. Kuhlmeier et al,. While you could argue that this was personal expression as defined in Tinker(Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District) , that it took place at an event that carried the school districts imprimatur and the speech could then be construed as having district support, the dead microphone was appropriate in the view of the District.
