In 1969, in a 7-2 majority vote in favor of Tinker (students), the United States Supreme Court ruled, “It can hardly be argued,” declared the Court, “that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate” (Imber et al p83).

Fraser that students can be disciplined for using vulgar and offensive language in school (Gooden, Eckes, Mead, McNeal, & Torres, 2013, p. 25). This case differed from Tinker v.

An upcoming issue in the paper was set to have articles pertaining to teen pregnancy and how kids responded to divorce. The principal then voiced concern because he believe the content was to mature for students and isolating for students that may be pregnant. He then removed the articles from the paper because of his disapproval. Three students then filed claims that their First Amendment rights were violated.
