Tinker v. Des Moines and the First Amendment
Individual Rights and Freedoms
Summary
In this lesson, students will explore the protected rights all students have on school grounds based on the precedent set by 1969 Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines. Students will analyze how this court case helped to clarify and extend students' First Amendment freedoms. They will then reflect on how those freedoms come with limitations.
Essential Question(s)
To what extent are students' First Amendment rights protected in school, and are those freedoms ever limited?
Mr. Saindon’s class will be able to apply the Supreme Court precedent set in Tinker v. Des Moines to issues facing society today.
We will practice civil discourse skills to explore the tensions between students’ interests in free speech
and
expression on campus and their school’s interests in maintaining an orderly learning environment.
We will have the opportunity to find common ground and come up with compromises.
