A. 16 Year old High School Student The 16 year old high school student would be asked to change his shirt inside out, and if he refuses he would ultimately be sent home. Out of the three people listed, he would have the least amount of protection. All students are covered under the 14th amendment of equal protection, because dress codes are from neutral viewpoints and all students are expected to follow them. First amendment rights can be restricted within the school to protect the greater good of all students, as seen in Powe v. Miles (1968). Typically the school protects against speech or symbols that could be disruptive, distractive, profane, or encourage violence so that they can be proactive by avoiding any possible disruption that could be caused by the shirt. B. An 18 year old college student would have the most protection out of all three people while wearing the tee shirt. Although the tee shirt is offensive, it’s still protected under the first amendment …show more content…

In Fountain Gate Ministries v. City of Plano (1983) we see the opposite of Crosby; A degree granting institution in Plano, Texas acting under the façade of a church. Fountain Gate argues that the college and the church share the same mission, therefore Fountain Gate should be exempt from the zoning laws that are preventing the college. The court found that Fountain Gate confers degrees, charges tuition and application fees, employs faculty and staff, houses students in dormitories, and requires all students to eat in the cafeteria (Olivas, 2006, p. 19). All of these functions are pertinent pieces of a college. The most significant piece of evidence, supporting that Fountain Gate is a college, not a church, is that they offer enrollment to people who do not attend the church or are of a different religious denomination. According to Olivas, 75% of their enrollment is made up of non-church members (Olivas, 2006,

As seen in previous cases like Tinker vs. Des Moines, students have the right to political say, unless it causes disruption at school of students are promoting something that goes against the law. In the case of Tinker v Des Moines the students were not promoting anything illegal but showed their thought on the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands (Tinker). Argued in court by Kenneth W. Starr in the Morse v. Frederick case, he gave the idea that the foundation for school censorship was the case of Tinker v. Des Moines (Morse). The Justices responded back saying, that case was a different scenario as the students weren 't doing anything against the law while Frederick was encouraging the use of marijuana which was illegal (Morse).

In another case, Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000), prayers were offered before graduations and football games by a student elected chaplain. While the case being processed in district court, the school district issued another policy that permits, but does not require that all students participate in the student-led prayer. The court ruled that the football game prayers were authorized by a government policy and taking place on government property which was perceived as government establishing a religion. This case relates to O’Connell v. Hopewell School District, New Jersey because the football team is practicing on government property. Additionally, in Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, since the prayers were on government property, it was perceived as a government entity establish a

Mergens by and Through Mergens).

A public school should be an environment where anyone in attendance should feel safe and comfortable. In source 1, The NFA Zero Tolerance policy states “The goal in establishing NFA’s Zero Tolerance policy is to provide a safe and orderly campus for all of our students, faculty, and staff.” Source 1 later states that students will receive a 10-day out-of-school- suspension, and possibly result in expulsion for any of the following reasons: Possession of weapon(s), possession of drugs/alcohol, extortion, hate crimes, and assault.

Any girl who has attended a public high school understands the daily dilemma of dress code. On those scorching hot days as the school year approaches summer, many girls can be found scavenging through their closet for a “school appropriate” outfit or one they won’t melt into a sweaty puddle in. Her dresses will show too much leg, her tops will inappropriately expose her shoulder or collar bone, and her shorts will be too short — at least that 's what the school says. Dress code in modern day high schools should be boycotted because they are a violation to student and parents rights, sexist, out of date, a double standard, and they disrupt a female students education. It 's fair to agree with a policy that claims stringent dress codes increase the emphasis on academics and reduce the pressure of socioeconomic status; however, these dress codes violate the students First Amendment right to freedom of expression and the parents’ Fourteenth Amendment right to raise their children in their own way.
