Supreme Court 1

The Vietnam War caused a lot of controversy during the 1960’s in the US, so it isn’t a surprise that many Americans protested against the war. Well the Tinkers also protested The Vietnam War except when the children did it they got in trouble. The Des Moines School District was well aware of this and decided to take action against this. The school district decided to ban students from wearing black armbands which represented the people protesting the war and whoever refused to remove them would be suspended from school (http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/comm/free_speech/tinker.html).
