Why did a subtle act of protest against a foreign war reach the Supreme Court? In 1965, students John and Mary Beth Tinker wore black armbands to school to protest the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War, despite the Des Moines school district prohibiting such an act. The Tinkers sued the district for violating their First Amendment rights, and the Supreme Court ruled in their favor in a 7-2 decision. While subsequent Supreme Court rulings narrowed the scope of free expression rights at school, Tinker v. Des Moines remains a landmark case that has defined First Amendment rights for students.

Great presentation! Hope both of you are planning on law careers to serve humankind in the perpetual struggle to preserve and protect civil and human rights, across the board, in multiple and diverse settings. Most certainly, the Tinker decision handed down by the Warren Court in 1968 is magisterial and a North Star case but unless we had an individual makeup of Supreme Court justices, as then present forming the Warren Court, despite the heroics of an attorney such as Dan Johnson, in representing the Tinkers, those decisions become increasingly less likely as we pass through the era of the Burger Court succeeded by a Roberts Court. The Burger Court, in both the Bethel School District case and the Hazelwood School District cases, succumbed to the argument of school discipline in evoking decisions which represented the mind of conservative justices and their answer to advocacy for student and teacher free speech. It does matter which justices are appointed to our federal district courts and which justices are ultimately appointed to the Supreme Court if civil rights, across the board, are to survive the endless onslaught of suppression evoked by each new generation of the Republican Party bent on control and profit at the expense of both human rights and civil rights.
