Question

PLEASE HELP ME IDK WHAT THIS IS
The Supreme Court has ruled that schools cannot force a student to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance or National Anthem, citing a violation of their 1st Amendment Rights. The Supreme Court has also ruled that schools can ban articles of clothing that they believe are disruptive to the learning environment (Confederate flag hats, etc.), and that this is NOT a violation of a student’s 1st Amendment rights. Explain what the difference is between these two 1st Amendment scenarios and why the Supreme Court would rule this way. Use credible sources to support your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Supreme Court Ruled that you cannot compel speech

Explanation:

There are two cases relevant to this discussion: West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, the Supreme Court decided 6-3 that the First Amendment not only protected free speech, but also confirmed that "compulsory unification of opinion" is unconstitutional.

Secondly, Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District was ruled 7-2 to allow pure speech, and that stepping into a school property does not relinquish one's First Amendment rights. However, if the article of clothing or display is disruptive to the learning environment, it is within the rights of the school to limit free speech.
