The Tinker v. Des Moines Podcast Supreme Court case is an important one, especially to students who like to voice their opinion about certain things. In Des Moines, Iowa, during the near ending of the 1960s and the start of the Vietnam War, students silently protested against the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands. This peaceful action was taken out of hand by the school and suspended students who participated in the protest. This was seen as a violation of the students’ rights according to the First Amendment. Their case was taken to U.S. Court of Appeals where the students lost but later was taken up to the Supreme Court, resulting in a win for the students. The students’ rights were defended in a 7-2 decision. This is a debatable case any student could use in their defense if their rights were violated in the school house also. …show more content…

Students should be allowed to voice their opinions about certain things and situations they feel obligated to speak on. Students who participated in the protest faced suspension from school until they ended their protest. The students’ parents argued with the school board about the suspension of their children and eventually sued the school and the case was taken to court.

Taylor Murphy claimed that, while on school property, the event was outside of the school day and he was acting as a free and public individual. In the case Morse v. Frederick, he may have no been “in school” but he was on school grounds and Morse v. Frederick states “pupils who participate in approved social events and class trips are subject to the same student conduct rules that apply during the regular school program.” Even if Murphy didn’t realize it, he associated himself with the school by wearing his school varsity jacket, so it was clear to the public that

Students of all ages and genders must learn to make decisisons for themselves and determine wether those decisions were right or wrong, each day a person wakes up they most likely throw on clothing before heading outside, when they do so they determine what style they prefer and what reaction they are looking for from others. When a student decides to dress up a certain way, they are usually trying to fit in or stand out, students feel good when they are dressed the way they prefer.
