Which excerpt from Tinker v. Des Moines shows how precedent helps
support an argument?
A. "In the absence of a specific showing of constitutionally valid
reasons to
regulate their speech, students are entitled to freedom
of expression of
their views. As Judge Gewin, speaking for the
Fifth Circuit, said,
school officials cannot suppress 'expressions of
feelings with which they
do not wish to contend."
B. "One does not need to be a prophet or the son of a prophet to
know that, after the
Court's holding today, some students in lowa
schools and, indeed
, in all schools - will be ready, able, and
willing to
defy their teachers on practically all orders.
C. "While the absence of obscene remarks or boisterous and loud
disorder
perhaps justifies the Court's statement that the few
armband
students did not actually "disrupt" the classwork, I think
the record
overwhelmingly shows that the armbands did exactly
what the elected
school officials and principals foresaw they
would."
