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.
I don't really get what you're saying here. I think the first point is that because students pay for their yearbooks, they are therefore not school productions. I don't think this is true. The language in Hazelwood repeatedly refers to newspapers being equatable to plays. In both cases, production costs are covered by others. Costs of plays are covered by tickets and costs of newspapers are often covered by advertising. The fact that funding is coming from somewhere other than the school does not make it any less of a school production. I'm not sure what you're saying in the second point about the location?
Of course you can say its not a school production, but the funding doesn't say otherwise according to the SCOTUS. Repeating that its not funded by students does not make it so, proving that the yearbook is funded by the school makes that so. In some states, there are state laws protecting school student speech regardless of the SCOTUS ruling.
