Tinker v des moines

Tinker V. Des Moines was a very controversial case. In December 1965, a group of adults and students in Des Moines including 15 year old John Tinker, his sister Mary Beth, their friend Christopher Eckhardt, and their parents had held a meeting at the Eckhardt home. The group determined to publicize their objections to the hostilities in Vietnam and their support for a truce by wearing black armbands and fasting during the holiday season.

This case is controversial, and there are many sides I could take. Myself, I agree with John Tinker and his family. I believe that if you believe in something strong enough, they you should stand up for it. In this case they believed in something and tried to stand up for it, with their First Amendment rights, and yet they were forced by the school to remove them. The children and their parents weren't hurting anyone with their antics, and I think they shouldn't have been forced to remove their armbands, or anything for that matter, that stands up for what they believe in.
