The First Amendment in High School

According to the first amendment, how old should a person claim to have rights? For most people, the first thing is 18 years old. However, after the review, it is easy to prove that the 16-year-old child of the second year grader has the ability to express his / her opinion and should be allowed to express his / her opinion. What is the difference between this student and another student who dropped out of school and found work at the age of 16, or another student who decided to wear a shirt written "PRO-CHOICE"?

What is the right of high school students' first modification? Here, we find this conflicting decision again, and make us very suspicious about the power of the first modification. In the 1960s, the Supreme Court stated that school officials in Iowa State can not prohibit students from wearing black arms to protest the Vietnam War. It said: "We do not limit the initial amendment rights to the supervision and regulation of the four corners of a telephone box or booklet, or school classroom."

Public school officials also enjoy the right of the first revision. The staff 's initial amendment right parameters were first established by the US Supreme Court in Pickering v. Board of Education (in Illinois state). In this case, the court has identified three important issues to consider when deciding whether the statements of the staff are protected by the first amendment. To some extent, employees are dealing with public concern about the general public. By speaking without breaking the close relationship with other staff, parents or students, the speech is usually protected by the first amendment

The problem raised in this case is whether the school board prevented the removal of the vulgarity of previously approved textbook materials from the high school stage where the first amendment was chosen for the choice of opposition . And it is sexually explicit. The US Court of Appeal has concluded that the Board of Education can take such actions without deleting the constitutional restrictions and without "being reasonably relevant" to "legitimate educational concerns" It was. The written "Regulations on the reasons of the Board" states that, as the grounds for the deletion of this textbook, explicit and excessively vulgar words among the two options of Part 1 "Humanities: Cultural Roots and Continuity" I quote it. The two choices are Joe's Miller's story and Aristophanes's Lysistrata.
