SynopsisSiblings John and Mary Beth Tinker led a protest against the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to school. Did this action violate the law, or was it protected by the First Amendment? Their case went all the way to the Supreme Court, where it was decided that the students did not give up their first amendment rights when they entered the school building.
