We recently had this case, so it seems more appropriate to note two other cases decided OTD.

Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988) concerned control of a school newspaper.

The dissent is sympathetic since it opposed censorship of student articles. But the majority noted various details that make the move sound fairly reasonable, including as a matter of sound editorial judgment. White for the majority, Brennan for the dissent.

One, Inc. v. Olesen (1958) is simply this:

The petition for writ of certiorari is granted and the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is reversed. Roth v. United States.

The summary is more notable: "Speech in favor of homosexuals is not inherently obscene."

A judgment that LGBTQ people are not "inherently obscene" is ultimately the path to justice. And now the justices will hear an important oral argument about trans athletes and probably more.
