Pleasanton Unified School District [PDF text], a Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals [official website] panel holding that the action of school officials censoring sectarian, proselytizing portions of a speech that Plaintiff gave at his high school graduation ceremony did not violate his First Amendment rights and were in fact necessary to avoid violation of the Establishment Clause.
