were suspended from school for wearing black armbands to protest the

district had the right to suspend them. When the Supreme Court reviewed the
case, it decided that the school district did not have the right to suspend the
students.

Supreme Court decision that the students had the right to wear the armbands
to school?

O
B. The armbands were shown to cause disruption that interfered with
learning.
C. The use of judicial review shows flaws in the majority opinion.
D. Other court cases upheld the rights of schools to limit freedom of
expression
