The United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of the students in a 7-2 decision in 1969. Students don't give up their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gates, the high court ruled, agreeing that they should be preserved.
In a quiet protest against the Vietnam War, students at a public school in Des Moines, Iowa, intended to attend class wearing black armbands. The kids were informed by the administration that they would face suspension if they showed up to class wearing armbands because the protest might disturb the classroom environment. Some pupils were penalized for wearing the armbands despite the warning. The parents of the students sued the school for breaching their children's right to free expression while they were in suspension. Wearing the armbands could interfere with class instruction, according to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa, which backed with the school's argument.
The students filed an appeal with the Eighth Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals.
