Question

Choose ALL the correct answers.

Based on the Supreme Court's rulings in Tinker v. Des Moines (1969) and Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier (1988), which two of the following actions
would be most likely protected by the First Amendment?

Students publishing controversial articles after school on their own student-run blog

A student delivering an offensive speech in the school auditorium

Students skipping school to take part in a political protest

Student athletes kneeling in
protest during the National Anthem

Answer 1

Student athletes kneeling in protest during the National Anthem.

Tinker v Des Moines ruled in favor of free speech and expression.

Hazelwood v Kuhlmeier held that the First Amendment did not require schools to affirmatively promote particular types of student speech.

I think all of the other actions are too disruptive and that the school would have legitimate interest in prohibiting them.
