The court ruled that the threats were not protected by the First Amendment.

H.S. Yearbook Won’t Include Student’s Baby, Suicide Victim
Menahga, MN
High school yearbooks are lined with memories both good and bad, but in Northern Minnesota, one high school wants to keep a few things from its pages.
A controversy is brewing at Menahga High School over the issues of teen pregnancy and suicide.
Kyle Kenyon would have been a senior this year, but committed suicide last January.
“The only way I can hold it together is with all the support we have,” said Peggy Havnes, Kenyon’s mother.
Around 100 classmates have signed a petition to get a memorial page in their yearbook, something Havnes would also like to see.
