Read this passage from Justice Fortas's majority opinion on Tinker v. Des Moines: If a regulation were adopted by school officials forbidding discussion of the Vietnam conflict, or the expression by any student of opposition to it anywhere on school property except as part of a prescribed classroom exercise, it would be obvious that the regulation would violate the constitutional rights of students. Which is the best summary of the passage? A. "If a regulation were adopted by school officials forbidding discussion of the Vietnam conflict," except as a class activity, it would be clear that the rule "would violate the constitutional rights of students." B. The majority opinion, correctly, in my view, argues that the rights of the poor students who can only express their views on Vietnam during a ridiculous class activity are clearly violated. C. In Tinker v. Des Moines Justice Fortas argues that it would be obvious that students' rights are violated "if a regulation were adopted by school officials forbidding discussion of the Vietnam conflict . . . except as part of a prescribed classroom exercise." D. In his majority opinion on Tinker v. Des Moines, Justice Fortas argues that if students were not allowed to talk about Vietnam at school, unless as a class activity, it would be an obvious violation of their rights.
