Do schools have the constitutional right to censor the Internet?

neither schools nor any particular individual or other such group has ownership of the internet. they have no right to censor what does not even belong to them and the guidelines for said censorship are often faulty and poorly worded. i would understand if there is a rule against adult content like porn, but instead schools attempt to stifle everything from social media, to games, to websites that disagree with their point of view on this subject. TL;DR: nobody owns the internet and therefore nobody has the right to censor or otherwise control it.
