Explanation

In Tinker v. Des Moines (1969), students wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. The Supreme Court ruled that students do not lose their First Amendment right to free speech at school, as long as their expression does not substantially disrupt school activities. Therefore, the case dealt with students’ right to free speech in public schools.
