This was their way of protesting the Vietnam War and supporting a truce. The school principals eventually heard about the plan and created a policy stating that any student wearing an armband would be told to remove it, and refusal to do so will result in a suspension. One day, Mary Beth Tinker and Christopher Eckhardt wore their armbands to school and were sent home. The next day, John Tinker did the same with the same result. The students did not return to school until after New Year's Day, the planned end of the protest.]]> 2023-06-07 19:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2617448419 bfiguer21 https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2617454013 It is important because it set a precedent for the rights of students and their free speech or expression inside schools. ]]> 2023-06-07 19:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2617454013 bfiguer21 https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2617456139 Tinker v Des Moines has been cited in various other cases involving free speech at school, cases including school newspapers, social media, etc. The Tinker case will remain relevant for a while now and will continue to be very important surrounding students and their free speech rights.]]> 2023-06-07 19:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2617456139 bfiguer21 https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2621391545 The parents of these students had sued the school district for a violation of the students' right of expression.

Des Moines, n.d.)

The students affected by this had appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit but lost. They eventually took the case to the Supreme Court of the United States. The Supreme Court, with a 7-2 majority decided that "the armbands represented pure speech that is entirely separate from the actions or conduct of those participating in it." The Court also stated that in order to justify the repression of free speech, school officials have to prove that the speech or content will "materially and substantially interfere" with the operation of the school.]]> 2023-06-12 18:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2621396250 bfiguer21 https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2621397109 "Tinker v.

Des Moines case was no doubt a historic case for the United States Supreme Court case in 1969. 
     The main topic surrounding the First Amendment rights of students in public schools. 
     The most important elements are whether or not students could express political opinions through symbolic speech and whether or not students lose their First Amendment rights when they enter a school. 
     It is still relevant today because it established the idea that schools cannot censor or punish students for expressing their political views, as long as there is no distraction to the educational environment. 
This case has important implications for today's classrooms because it protects students and their right to free speech and expression. It also means that students have the right to wear whatever clothes or accessories as long as it does not violate school dress codes.]]> 2023-06-12 19:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2621408403 bfiguer21 https://padlet.com/bfiguer21/7op0iq9bca4if66m/wish/2624807335 1975, Goss V Lopez.
