Make No Law Episode Two: The Schoolhouse Gates

Make No Law Episode Two: The Schoolhouse Gates

In Make No Law podcast Episode Two: the Schoolhouse Gates, I interview Mary Beth Tinker, who won an important victory for student free speech rights, and remains an activist for free speech rights to this day. What was it like in 1965 to defy the school district's rule against black armbands? Listen and find out.

Here are some of the cases and resources mentioned in the podcast:

Supreme Court decision in Tinker v. Des Moines

Oyez page on Tinker v. Des Moines, including oral argument recording

Tinker Tour USA: Mary Beth Tinker's student free speech organization

Ninth Circuit amended opinion (with dissent from refusal of rehearing) in Dariano v. Morgan Hill Unified School District, the Cinco de Mayo flag shirt case

— an example of the retreat from Tinker's protection for student free speech rights
