West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943) 319 U.S. 624 No. 591. Argued March 11, 1943. Decided June 14, 1943.

How it got started The Board of Education on January 9, 1942, adopted a resolution containing recitals taken largely from the Court's Gobitis opinion and ordering that the salute to the flag become 'a regular part of the program of activities in the public schools,' that all teachers and pupils 'shall be required to participate in the salute honoring the Nation represented by the Flag; provided, however, that refusal to salute the Flag be regarded as an Act of insubordination, and shall be dealt with accordingly.

Outcome? The Board of Education moved to dismiss the complaint setting forth these facts and alleging that the law and regulations are an unconstitutional denial of religious freedom, and of freedom of speech, and are invalid under the 'due process' and 'equal protection' clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution.

Court Cases Decided By: Stone Court (1943-1945) Opinion: 319 U.S. 624 (1943) Argued: Thursday, March 11, 1943 Decided: Monday, June 14, 1943

Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) Argued Tuesday, November 12, 1968 Decided Monday, February 24, 1969

Who was involved? John Tinker, 15 years old, his sister Mary Beth Tinker, 13 years old, and Christopher Echardt, 16 years old, decided along with their parents to protest the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to their Des Moines schools during the Christmas holiday season

How it got started Upon learning of their intentions, and fearing that the armbands would provoke disturbances, the principals of the Des Moines school district resolved that all students wearing armbands be asked to remove them or face suspension. When the Tinker siblings and Christopher wore their armbands to school, they were asked to remove them. When they refused, they were suspended until after New Year's Day.

Outcome Decision: 7 votes for Tinker, 2 vote(s) against Legal provision: Amendment 1: Speech, Press, and Assembly The wearing of armbands was "closely akin to 'pure speech'" and protected by the First Amendment. School environments imply limitations on free expression, but here the principals lacked justification for imposing any such limits. The principals had failed to show that the forbidden conduct would substantially interfere with appropriate school discipline.

Court Cases Docket No. 21 Petitioner Tinker Respondent Des Moines Ind. Comm. School Dist. Decided By Warren Court (1967-1969) Opinion 393 U.S. 503 (1969) Argued Tuesday, November 12, 1968 Decided Monday, February 24, 1969

Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser (1986) Argued: Monday, March 3, 1986 Decided: Monday, July 7, 1986

Who was involved? Who was involved? Who was involved? Matthew Fraser Bethel School district A school assembly speech nominating a fellow student for elective office. In his speech, Fraser used what some observers believed was a graphic sexual metaphor to promote the candidacy of his friend How was it started?

Outcome Decision: 7 votes for Bethel School District No. 403, 2 vote(s) against Legal provision: Amendment 1: Speech, Press, and Assembly No. The Court found that it was appropriate for the school to prohibit the use of vulgar and offensive language. Chief Justice Burger distinguished between political speech which the Court previously had protected in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) and the supposed sexual content of Fraser's message at the assembly. Burger concluded that the First Amendment did not prohibit schools from prohibiting vulgar and lewd speech since such discourse was inconsistent with the "fundamental values of public school education."

Court Case Decided By Burger Court (1981-1986) Opinion 478 U.S. 675 (1986) Argued Monday, March 3, 1986 Decided Monday, July 7, 1986

Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988) Argued: Tuesday, October 13, 1987 Decided: Wednesday, January 13, 1988

Who was involved/ How is was started? The Spectrum, the school-sponsored newspaper of Hazelwood East High School, was written and edited by students. In May 1983, Robert E. Reynolds, the school principal, received the pages proofs for the May 13 issue. Reynolds found two of the articles in the issue to be inappropriate, and ordered that the pages on which the articles appeared be withheld from publication. Cathy Kuhlmeier and two other former Hazelwood East students brought the case to court.

Outcome In a 5-to-3 decision, the Court held that the First Amendment did not require schools to affirmatively promote particular types of student speech. The Court held that schools must be able to set high standards for student speech disseminated under their auspices, and that schools retained the right to refuse to sponsor speech that was "inconsistent with 'the shared values of a civilized social order.'" Educators did not offend the First Amendment by exercising editorial control over the content of student speech so long as their actions were "reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns." The actions of principal Reynolds, the Court held, met this test.

Court Case Decided By Rehnquist Court (1987-1988) Opinion 484 U.S. 260 (1988) Argued Tuesday, October 13, 1987 Decided Wednesday, January 13, 1988

Morse v. Frederick (2007) Argued: Monday, March 19, 2007 Decided: Monday, June 25, 2007

Who was involved/ How it all got started? At a school-supervised event, Joseph Frederick held up a banner with the message "Bong Hits 4 Jesus," a slang reference to marijuana smoking. Principal Deborah Morse took away the banner and suspended Frederick for ten days. She justified her actions by citing 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.

Outcome The Court reversed the Ninth Circuit by a 5-4 vote, ruling that school officials can prohibit students from displaying messages that promote illegal drug use. Chief Justice John Roberts's majority opinion held that although students do have some right to political speech even while in school, this right does not extend to pro-drug messages that may undermine the school's important mission to discourage drug use.
