Tinker standard- The US supreme court recognizes that the 1st amendment protects on-campus student speech.

Fraser standard- inappropriate speech for class president: student speech can be censored if vulgar and indecent

Hazelwood standard- 1st amendment doesn't protect most school-sponsored student media at public high schools as much: "reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns[teaching concerns]"

Frederick standard- part of school function so it fell under Hazelwood.

rights outside of school- can't be punished by the school if not on school property and is outside of the school day. ex: if a student flipped off a teacher at a restaurant, teacher can't punish them. things written on public sites, facebook, myspace, offensive sites,

-out right, clear threats on sites can be punished(?).

- can be suspended from school sports/MN high school league for doing drugs and drinking alcohol because signed waiver states it clearly.
