The quotation from a prior case strengthens the ruling in Tinker primarily by citing the precedent that Boards of Education must act within the Bill of Rights. This emphasizes that students do not lose their constitutional rights when they enter school, reinforcing the decision that schools must respect the First Amendment rights of students, including their right to free speech and expression.
