The principle of these cases is not limited to the supervised and orderly discussion that takes place in class. The main objective to which schools are dedicated is to welcome students during the prescribed hours for certain types of activities. These activities include face-to-face communication between students.6 It`s not just an inevitable part of school attendance; It is also an important part of the educational process. A student`s rights therefore do not only include lessons. If he is in the cafeteria, on the playground or on campus during approved hours, he can express his opinion, even on controversial topics such as the Vietnam conflict, if he does, without “materially and substantially interfering with the requirements of proper discipline in the operation of the school” and without conflicting with the rights of others. Burnside v. Byars, op. cit. cit., 363 F.2d to 749. But the behaviour of the student, in or out of the classroom, which, for whatever reason, be it time, place or nature of the behaviour, significantly disrupts classroom work or involves significant disruption or interference with the rights of others, is of course not immune from the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression.

See Blackwell v. Issaquena County Board of Education, 363 F.2d 749 (C.A.5th Cir. 1966). In this Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2013 photo, Mary Beth Tinker, 61, holds an old photo of herself with her brother during an interview with The Associated Press in Washington. Tinker was just 13 when she spoke out against the Vietnam War in 1965 by wearing a black armband to her Iowa school. When the school suspended her, she took her free speech case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and won. Her message: Students should take action on issues that are important to them.

“It`s better for our whole society if children have a voice,” she says. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta.) Even an occasional reading of the recording shows that this armband distracted the minds of students from their regular lessons, and that conversations, comments, etc. made John Tinker “confident” as he walked to school with his armband. While the absence of obscene remarks or noisy, noisy clutter may justify the court`s statement that the few students in the armband did not really “disrupt” classroom work, I think the records overwhelmingly show that the armbands did exactly what elected officials and principals had intended. that is, diverting students` minds from their classroom work and alerting them to thoughts on the highly emotional subject of the Vietnam War. And I repeat, when the time comes when students in state-sponsored schools, kindergartens, high schools or high schools can defy the instructions of school officials and not focus on their own school work, then it is the beginning of a revolutionary new era of freedom of movement in this country. promoted by the judiciary. The next logical step, it seems to me, would be to pass unconstitutional laws that exclude students under the age of 21 or 18 from voting or voting as school board members. [Note 2] According to our Constitution, freedom of expression is not a right granted only to be restricted to the point of existing in principle, but not in fact.

Freedom of speech would not really exist if the right could only be exercised in an area that a benevolent government has created as a haven for crackpots. The Constitution states that Congress (and states) cannot restrict free speech. This provision means what it says. We have interpreted it correctly to allow for reasonable regulation of language activities in carefully limited circumstances. But we do not limit the permissible exercise of First Amendment rights to a phone booth or the four corners of a pamphlet, or to supervised and orderly discussions in a classroom. “Lochner (Lochner v. New York, 198 U.S. 45, 25 S.Ct. 539, 49 L.Ed. 937), Coppage (Coppage v. Kansas, 236 U.S.

1, 35 S.Ct. 240, 59 L.Ed. 441), Adkins (Adkins v. Children`s Hospital, 261 U.S. 525, 43 S.Ct. 394, 67 L.Ed. 785), Burns (Jay Burns Baking Co. v.

Bryan, 264 U.S. 504, 44 S.Ct. 412, 68 L.Ed. 813) and similar cases, in which due process empowers courts to declare laws unconstitutional if they believe that Parliament has acted recklessly, have long since been dismissed. The problem arising from this case is not related to the regulation of skirt length or type of clothing, expand this activity by distinguishing judgments in two other landmark cases from student speeches that affect First Amendment rights in schools. Assuming the Court is correct in holding that the wearing of armbands for the purpose of conveying political ideas is protected by the First Amendment, see, for example, Giboney v. Empire Storage & Ice Co., 336 U.S. 490 (1949), the crucial questions that remain to be asked are whether pupils and teachers can use schools at will as a platform for the exercise of freedom of expression – “symbolic” or “pure” – and whether the courts will determine how the pupils` school day is gone.
