<P> The Hazelwood School District case applies the principles set forth in Fraser to curricular matters . In Hazelwood, the Supreme Court upheld a school's decision to censor certain articles in the school newspaper which was produced as part of the school's journalism curriculum . Echoing Fraser, the Supreme Court observed that "(a) school need not tolerate student speech that is inconsistent with' its basic educational mission'...even though the government could not censor similar speech outside the school". School authorities and educators do not offend the First Amendment by exercising editorial control over the style and content of student speech in school - sponsored expressive activities so long as their actions are reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns . </P> <P> Morse v. Frederick blends Fraser and Hazelwood, applying them to a school - sanctioned event or activity . While students were along a public street in front of school watching the Olympic Torch Relay pass through, Frederick unfurled a banner bearing the phrase: "BONG HiTS (sic) 4 JESUS". The banner was in plain view of other students . The high school principal seized the banner and suspended Frederick because the banner was perceived to advocate the use of illegal drugs . The Supreme Court held that a principal may, consistent with the First Amendment, restrict student speech at a school event, when that speech is reasonably viewed as promoting illegal drug use . Not only was a school activity involved, but the banner's promotion of illegal drugs was contrary to the school's policy or mission to prevent student drug abuse . </P> <P> The right of free speech is not itself absolute: the Court has consistently upheld regulations as to time, place, and manner of speech, provided that they are "reasonable". In applying this reasonableness test to regulations limiting student expression, the Court has recognized that the age and maturity of students is an important factor to be considered . </P> <P> In the school context, the United States Supreme Court has identified three major relevant considerations: </P>
