Christine Flowers One of the first cases I studied at Villanov 070321-roa-opn-commentary-kabiri-risk a was Tinker v. Des Moines, a seminal case in free speech and student’s rights. In December of 1965, the week I turned four, a group of high school students in Des Moines, Iowa decided to wear black armbands to class in protest of the Vietnam War. They were suspended, and filed a lawsuit against the school district claiming that their First Amendment rights had been violated. Two lower courts dismissed their claims, but the Supreme Court reversed. Holding that the student’s right to freedom of expression had been compromised, the 7-2 majority held that unless the “speech” was disruptive or that it would “materially and substantially interfere” with school activities, it could not be forbidden.
