Florida Civic Literacy Exam| FCLE | Tinker v. Des Moines (1969) NEED TO KNOW for the FCLE #civicliteracy

Summary

This episode of the FCLE Seminar podcast discusses the landmark Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines, which addressed the First Amendment rights of students in public schools. The case arose when students wore black armbands to protest the Vietnam War, leading to their suspension. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the students, affirming their right to symbolic speech as long as it does not cause substantial disruption to the educational process. The discussion highlights the balance between student expression and maintaining an orderly learning environment, as well as the implications of the ruling for future cases involving student rights.
