Court Cases

Question 1

Morse (principal) versus Frederick (student)

Answer 1

OUTCOME:
The First Amendment does not prevent educators from suppressing student speech that is reasonably viewed as promoting illegal drug use at or across the street from a school-supervised event.
REASON FOR THE CASE:
Frederick hung a banner saying, “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” and the principal told him to put it down and the kid plead that he was taking away his first amendment right.
