what are the pros and cons of disregarding precedents?

In the world of politics and law, precedent refers to a legal principle established in a prior court ruling that should be adhered to in subsequent rulings in accordance with stare decisis (Latin for "to stand by things decided"), a legal doctrine for adhering to precedent.

Times change, but precedent does not. For instance, a ruling made in 1896 may have set a precedent perceived as outdated several decades later. Such was the case with the landmark Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), affirming and precedenting racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine; however, the precedent Plessy v. Ferguson set would later be overturned in another landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), under the review of a more modern Supreme Court, influenced by a changing society.

When it comes to the law, predictability is important in the maintenance of an orderly society so that members of society can function with an awareness of what they can and cannot do to avoid unsavory consequences. When precedent is disregarded, the law is changed, and the justice system becomes less predictable. Additionally, when precedent is overturned, stare decisis is violated, and the authority of the precedent itself, along with those who set it, is undermined.

The drama class at a middle school was preparing for their spring play in the school auditorium. One week before the performance, a parent complained to the school board that the play was inappropriate for middle school students. The school board agreed and contacted the principal, who then informed the classes that the show was canceled. Students were upset that their preparations were a waste. They believe they have the right to freedom of expression in performing the play. The school board said that students are minors and that it must approve decisions about what is presented in school by teachers or students. The students did not have time to plan a different show. A group of the students’ parents brought the case to court on their behalf, but they lost the case in state district court. The student's parents appealed the district court’s decision to their state court of appeals. There the students and their parents won the case, but the school board appealed the decision to their state-level supreme court. The state supreme court ruled in favor of the school board. Unhappy with the state supreme court’s decision, the students’ parents are now appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. How is this case similar to the Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier case?
