Boxer v. California

Boxer v. California was a legal case where a student, Bryan Boxer, sued his school for banning a book called "Satanism and Witchcraft." The court ruled that schools cannot censor or remove books just because they dislike their ideas, especially if the books are educational or literary in nature. This case reinforced that students have free speech rights, and schools must have a good reason—beyond personal dislike—to restrict access to books. The decision emphasizes protecting students' access to diverse ideas while balancing school authority.
