Tinker V. Des Moines Case Study
Tinker v. Des Moines is a court case that happened in 1969 and was a dispute about wearing armbands to school for a protest against the Vietnam war.

This case all started with a meeting at Christopher Echardt’s house to do a silent protest of the Vietnam war. The “Tinker kids” decided the wear two-inch-wide black armbands to school for the protest. Before the students could wear their armbands, the principals of the Des Moines School District found out about what they were planning and fearing that the armbands would provoke disturbances, they resolved that all students

    Against School Uniforms

    In Jan. 2000, the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina, which opposes school uniforms, represented a nine year-old student who was suspended twice for his refusal to wear a school uniform because of his family’s religious beliefs. (“Should Students Have to Wear School Uniforms?") The school later agreed to amend school uniform policy to allow for religious reasons. In May 2008, a three-judge panel of the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 in Jacobs v. Clark County School District that the mandatory school uniform policy introduced by the Nevada district is constitutional. An 11th grade student and her parents had sued the district for refusing to allow her to wear a shirt displaying a message presenting her religious beliefs. The court ruled that the district's uniform policy was not restricting any one viewpoint in particular, and that therefore the policy was "content neutral" and not an infringement of "pure speech."(“Should Students Have to Wear School Uniforms?")…

    Tinker vs. Des Moine

    Before Tinker v. Des Moines the opinions students could and couldn’t voice was decided on by the schools. This changed when three students, John Tinker, Mary Beth Tinker and, Christopher Eckhardt decided to voice their opinions on the Vietnam War by wearing black arm bands (“Tinker V. Des Moines”1). The School system demanded the students to take off their arm bands or they would be suspended. The students refused to take them off didn’t attend school till after their winter break (“Tinker v. Des Moines” 1). John Tinker’s father thought this was unfair that their children were singled out for wearing armbands while other students were allowed to wear other…

    The students were suspended from school for showing their support of the anti-war movement. Wearing the armbands was protected by the First Amendment. It is implied that there are limitations to free speech in a school area, but the principal lacked the reasoning for imposing the limitations in this case. It was not shown that the conduct from the students would substantially interfere with appropriate school discipline.…

    Tinker V Des Moines Case

    "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." This was the main argument from Justice Abe Fortas that came into play at the Tinker v. Des Moines School District Case of 1969. The case involved a small group of students who silently dissented against the government’s policy during the ongoing Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to school. In response by the school administration, each of those students was suspended from the public schools they attended in Des Moines, Iowa. This case is a prime example of the Constitutionally protected symbolic speech we have rights to, and especially to what extent it is allowed in public schools.…

John Tinker and several other students decided to wear the black armbands to school and in return they were sent home until they would come back without the armband. The students did not return back to school until after New Years day. The complaint was filed in the United States District Court in which was dismissed due to the constitutional authority of the school to prevent disturbances.…

    Tinker V. Des Moines

    FACTS John Tinker was 15 years old who grew up with his sister Mary Beth Tinker, 13 years old, and brother Christopher Echardt, 16. They decided to follow their parents who were protesting the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to their Des Moines schools during the holiday season of Christmas and New Years. Once the word was out about the protests, the principals of the Des Moines school district decided that all students wearing armbands be asked to remove them or face suspension. The children of course were then asked upon entering school, which they refused. When they did refuse, they were suspended until after New Years Day. The Tinkers filed a suit in the U.S. District Court to stop the school principals from enforcing the rule in the future.…

    Arguments Against School Uniforms

    “It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." (Tinker v. Des Moines) In 1969, the United States Supreme Court ruled schools could not censor student actions unless the action is clearly unreasonable and would disrupt school activities. Student actions include dressing themselves. Uniforms impose a rule on dress code, not allowing students to wear their clothing of preference. This case is widely used as evidence when arguing against schools requiring uniforms. In 1970, the case of Richards v. Thurston, the courts ruled, “conventional standard of appearance… does not seem a justifiable part of the educational process (Richards v. Thurston). Translated, schools cannot discipline a student for unjustifiable characteristics, including appearances. Clothing is vital in expressing one’s self and by having schools impose dress-code rules restricts that…

    Some people believe that what Des Moines did about the armbands was necessary for the greater good of the students but they were just violating the student’s rights. In an article about the tinker case Judge Abe Fortas wrote, they do not "shed their constitutional rights at the school house gate" (Students’ Right to Freedom of Speech). Just because a student is in school shouldn’t mean that he/she should have to give up their constitutional rights as a citizen of the United…

    Analysis Of Tinker V. Des Moines Independent Community School District

    In 1965, a group of students decided to wear black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War. On December 15th, two students, Mary Beth Tinker and Christopher Eckhardt, displayed armbands. The two students were sent home. The day after, John Tinker wore a black armband, and again, was sent home. The parents then sued the school district. The question at hand is whether or not the students’ First Amendment rights are being violated when they are prohibited from displaying armbands, in a public school, in the form of a protest. Both the district court and the 8th Circuit U.S. Court of appeals stated that it was within the schools jurisdiction to suspend the students. The Supreme Court ultimately…

    Informative Essay: The First Amendment

    To illustrate, according to Des Moines Independent School District that took place in 1969, “John and Mary Beth Tinker and their friend Chris Eckhardt wore black armbands to school in Des Moines, Iowa, to protest the war in Vietnam. School officials told them to remove the armbands, and when they refused they were suspended… The Supreme Court sided with the students. Students and teachers don’t ‘shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate,’” (Jacobs). This proves how the right to protest is at risk in our society because the students were simply protesting the war in Vietnam peacefully, but the school said they couldn’t when they were allowed to do so. Also, the right to protest is at risk, according to Edwards v. South Carolina, “petitioners, all of whom were black, organized a march to the South Carolina State House grounds… The march was peaceful, did not block pedestrian or vehicular traffic, and was conducted in an orderly fashion on public property; a group of approximately thirty police officers confronted the group and ordered its members to disperse or to submit to arrest… The Court held that the arrests and convictions violated the rights of the marchers” (Oyez). This shows how the right to protest is at risk in our society because as stated above, the protesters held a peaceful protest, which was completely legal, but were arrested for no reason which violated their rights to…

    Morse V. Frederick

    This case was a major turning point to student rights. It all started when Morse a school-supervised event, Joseph Frederick held up a banner with this message "Bong Hits 4 Jesus," this was meant to the marijuana smoking. When the Principal Deborah Morse saw the banner she took away the banner and suspended Frederick for ten days. She justified or tried to give a good reason for her actions by stating the school's policy against the display of material that promotes the use of illegal drugs. Frederick sued under 42 U.S.C. 1983, the federal civil rights statute, alleging a violation of his First Amendment right to freedom of speech. The District Court they went to found no constitutional violation and ruled in favor of Morse. The court held that even if there were a violation, the principal had qualified immunity from lawsuit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed. The Ninth Circuit cited Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, which extended First Amendment protection to student speech except where the speech would cause a disturbance. Because Frederick was punished for his message rather than for any disturbance, the Circuit Court ruled, the punishment was unconstitutional. Furthermore, the principal had no qualified punishment, because any reasonable principal would have known that Morse's actions were unlawful.…
