In 1969, Barbara Susan Papish, a graduate student at the University of Missouri, distributed a newspaper containing a political cartoon of policemen raping the Statue of Liberty and the Goddess of Justice with the caption "With Liberty and Justice for All." She and three of her classmates were arrested for "possessing and attempting to sell obscene literature".[3] The university tried to expel Papish for violating their student conduct code that prohibited "indecent conduct or speech" and the lower courts agreed.[4] In 1973, the Supreme Court overturned the lower ruling, rejecting the notion that such content-based discipline could be justified, and ruled that public universities couldn't punish students for offensive speech that didn't cause disruption or interfere with the rights of others. The Court held that the school's expulsion of Papish violated the First Amendment.[5]
