Hazelwood school district v. kuhlmeier was a supreme court case, and the court ruled on it in january 1988. it was a crippling blow to students’ first amendment rights, and i am writing to protest it. the court held that school officials have the final say on public school newspapers, and students cannot complain when the paper is published as part of a class. except for decisions made for political reasons, principals are allowed to censor student newspapers, and they can get away with it. this censorship is prior restraint, and i do not accept it. which sentence type is used the most in this student’s passage? compound-

The most of the letter is written using the structure of a compund sentence, because a coordinating conjunction is used in most of the main sentences,which in this case, is the conjunction "and".  

The use of "and" to join the sentences that elaborate the arguments on the letter,eliminate th possibility of creating a complex sentence structure,because fort his,it isnecessary to have a sentence which depends of another one, both coupled by a suordinating conjunction, for instance before, even though,although after, because etc, which are not used in the passage.

The sentence type that is used the most in this student’s passage is: Compound Sentence.
