Ben’s T-Shirt Trouble Watch to see what happened when Ben Brewer decided to wear his favorite band t-shirt to school—in violation of the new school rule!
There should be a law against stupid rules like that! Maybe there is… We now interrupt this exciting presentation to bring you the U.S. Supreme Court case, Tinker v. Des Moines. Read the case summary silently as I read it aloud. After that, we will see if Principal Carter’s rule is against the law!
Mark it Up 1) Under what circumstances are schools allowed to prohibit speech or expression? Find two places where the Court states the rule. Underline these in green.
Mark it Up 2) One thing happened that shows the armbands might have caused disruption. (However, the Court did not think this was enough.) Find that one thing and underline it in blue.
Mark it Up Next, the Court gives a hint about what would be enough to cause disruption. Also underline that in blue.
Mark it Up 3) Is it enough if the school is afraid there might be disruption? Find the answer and underline it in red.
Mark it Up 4) Would it matter if there is disruption at lunch or between classes instead of during class? Find the answer and circle it in orange.
Mark it Up 5) Schools can prohibit speech if they have good ____ that the speech will be disruptive. Find the word that goes in the blank and circle it in purple.
What if? Consider the following examples. Decide whether the Court would say they are evidence of disruption. What would it take for the Supreme Court to decide the black armbands had been disruptive at school?
