It's a case revolving around students (the Tinkers)and their friend wearing armbands protesting the Vietnam War. The school forbade the act of wearing armbands as a sign of political/war protest, but it is the student's right to have a freedom of speech and expression (First Amendment). The Supreme Court ruled the case in favor of Tinker because of the First Amendment and because there was no disruption towards the class nor the students.
