Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- stating that “Justice White’s 17 Case: 23-50224 Document: 164-1 Page: 48 Date Filed: 06/06/2024 No. 23-50224 concurrence in Pico represents the narrowest grounds for the result in that case”
- “[P]ermitting cross-examination probing [the removers’] justifications for removing the Book[] will enable the finder of fact to determine . . . the true, decisive motivation.”
- noting “the special role of the school library as a place where students may freely and voluntarily explore diverse topics”
- observing a school library is “the principal locus” of students’ “free[dom] to inquire, to study[,] and to evaluate”
- “School officials’ legitimate exercise of control over pedagogical matters must be balanced, however, with the recognition that students do not ‘shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.’”
- I express no opinion on whether Campbell was correctly decided
