Supreme Court 3

The first court that the Tinkers went to was a district court. This court decided that prohibiting the use of the armbands was the correct thing to do. By doing so the school district avoided disturbances which include fights, arguments, and bullying.
Not satisfied with this the Tinkers decided to take the case to a higher court. Here the Court of Appeals couldn’t agree with each other and the final decision ended in a tie. In case of a tie the decision of the lower courts stands. So this means that the Tinkers lost the case again.
Again not satisfied with the decision they decide to challenge the courts again and go to the Supreme Court. Here the decision was 7-2 in favor of the Tinkers. The court decided that by restricting the armbands in school they restricted the students freedom of speech.
