Question

read this excerpt from the majority opinion on tinker v. des moines: if a regulation were adopted by school officials forbidding discussion of the Vietnam conflict, or the expression by any student of opposition to it anywhere on school property except as part of a prescribed classroom exercise, it would be obvious that the regulation would violate the constitutional right of students. What is the reasoning in this argument

Answer 1

The awnser is: If students were kept from discussing Vietnam in school, it would be an obvious violation of their rights, so not allowing them to wear armbands also violates their rights.

Answer 2

Answer:

It would violate the right to freedom of speech that everyone has.

Explanation:

If the school forbids students to talk about the Vietnam conflict that would be against the freedom of speech which is a principle that states that everyone can express their opinions without receiving a sanction or being censored. Because of that, the school can't adopt that regulation as they would be violating a right the students have to say what they think.
