B.Students at the school were allowed to wear other controversial symbols.
C.The students lived in a town that had a large number of military draftees.
D.Previous court cases had ruled in favor of schools limiting students' First Amendment rights.

Respuesta :

i believe the answer is A.

The fact that A. The school's decision affected only some of the students who were wearing armbands was the most likely factor that influenced the dissent of the Supreme Court in this case.

In the case, Tinker v. Des Moines (1969), 3 teenagers wore black armbands to school to protest against the Vietnam War. The school threatened them with suspension if they did not remove the bands.

As they refused to remove them, they were suspended and took the case to court. When it reached the Supreme Court, it was ruled that the school should not have suspended them because:

  • the fact that the school's decision affected only some of the students who were wearing armbands made it look prejudicial and,
  • the fact that the armbands had not disrupted school activity and so was not under the jurisdiction of the school

In conclusion therefore, the fact that only a few students were affected by the armband ban influenced the Supreme Court to dissent to the school's decision.
