Supreme Court 2

The issue with this case wasn’t the armbands themselves but what it represented. By not allowing the children to wear the black armbands they where interfering with their freedom of speech. The other issue is from the schools point of view. Allowing the kids to wear the armbands could cause problems in school such as fights, arguments, and children paying more attention to the armbands rather than their work. Here I have to agree with the schools since the kids grow up in different environments and most likely have different beliefs. This could and would’ve definitely ended with at least one school fight between students who support the war and those who don’t support it. The school was just doing its job which is to protect the children.
