Tinker V. Des Moines Independent School District :)

This supreme court case is about three public school students in Des Moines, Iowa, were suspended from school for wearing black armbands to protest the Government's policy in Vietnam.The school did not like it so they said to remove them or otherwise they would get suspended.They also made hostile comments. In wearing armbands, the petitioners were quiet and Calm. They were not disruptive and did not bother the rights of others. In these circumstances, their conduct was within the protection of the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth

The Out Come

We now have the right to wear whatever we want at school as long as it does not interupt with school. and as long as it does not threath no one as in violence.The Supreme Court supported students' right to the expression of opinion, even controversial opinion, in the school environment, but did not the school's right to maintain appropriate order and discipline. Schools cannot prevent students from exercising their First Amendment rights simply because they want to avoid the discomfort and unpleasantness that always accompany an unpopular viewpoint. The US Supreme Court voted 7-2 in favor of the students (Tinker), holding the students' political expression was protected by the First Amendment, and did not constitute a disruption or threat to the school environment.
