In Pennsylvania, schools must provide students and student groups with space on school bulletin boards. At our school, we’re not allowed to use the bulletin board in the office, but we can use the ones in the cafeteria and the main hallway. That’s okay. School authorities can tell you which bulletin boards to use or not use. They can also make you put the date on whatever you post, and possibly your name. What if we were to put up something controversial, like a flyer about a gay rights rally? If your school lets some students post stuff on the bulletin board, then they have to let all of you post. Your school can’t tell you not to use the bulletin board just because they don’t like what you say. But your school can tell you to take down flyers that use lewd or vulgar speech.
