What was the Supreme Court’s ruling in Tinker v. Des Moines?

Answer 1

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the students in Tinker v. Des Moines, establishing that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." The Court found that the school's prohibition on wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War violated the students' First Amendment rights. This landmark decision affirmed the rights of students to express their opinions in public schools, as long as their expression does not disrupt the educational process.
