10. Tinker v. Des Moines
Manage episode 271708516 series 2711808
This episode, I sit down with Mary Beth Tinker, the plaintiff of the landmark Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines, defining how First Amendment rights are interpreted regarding students and teachers in schools. In our discussion, we talk about her story in how her case made it all the way to the Supreme Court, her current advocacy for First Amendment rights and children's rights in the fifty years since the Tinker ruling, and have a discussion about the protesters of today and the current state of our democracy.

Special shout out to Mr. John Rauschuber, I hope you enjoyed this episode. One year after taking AP Gov with you, I still crave your praise and attention.
