Students had freedom of speech at school
Tinker v. Des Moines
Tinker v. Des Moines, (1969) stemmed from three students' protest of the Vietnam War.
The Supreme Court decision in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) affirmed students' rights to free speech in public schools, ruling that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." The case involved students wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War, which the Court found did not disrupt the educational process. This landmark ruling established that student expression is protected under the First Amendment, as long as it does not interfere with the operation of the school.
