[1][2] 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".

The Court held that the school's expulsion of Papish violated the First Amendment.
