Yeah - Morse v. Frederick doesn't really apply. It does show the extent that schools can go to to limit free speech that otherwise would be allowed though.

But I do think that Hazelwood makes it pretty clear that schools have very broad discretion over what enters school productions. Pretty much anything that could reasonably damage the school's image can be removed.
Nope it does apply. As the idea of political speech being censored then why teach anything based in the founding fathers or the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, or other historical controversial topics like the holocaust.

The language that this is an official private publication is negated by the cost of the students who throw in their dollars for their yearbook. Second, this language is not clear because of the location varies derived from state to state and more so for the reasons stated above.
