Santiago Gray · Answer 2

The correct answer is "Students retain their First Amendment rights during the school day."

Tinker vs Des Moines was a judicial case in which the schools exercised punishments against a group of students for wearing black armbands as a protest against the Vietnam War.

Judge Abe Fortas ruled in favor of the students, as he concluded the students were rightfully exercising their right to protest and could not be punished to do so according to the First Amendment of the Constitution. The judge also concluded they were not causing any disturbance to the school's normal activities.
