The Tinker v. Des Moines Supreme court case connected two students who wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam war. The school district suspended the students, possibly violating their right to free speech.

which best summarizes the dissenting opinion?

B. It was proven that other students were allowed to wear controversial symbols, so their suspension was unconstitutional.

D. The Des Moines Supreme Court had already ruled in favor of the school to suspend the students.
