public school dress code

[averad]

the Court has repeatedly emphasized the need for affirming the comprehensive authority of the States and of school officials, consistent with fundamental constitutional safeguards, to prescribe and control conduct in the schools. See Epperson v. Arkansas, supra, at 104; Meyer v. Nebraska, supra, at 402

Tinker vs the board of education ruled that a school can limit or require the dress code of students to maintain saftey.

Corect, but as I said before, the poster has not asked the CORRECT question for what they REALLY want to know.

His parents (father) filed suit seeking an injunction against the school, trying to prohibit them from disciplining Tinker (and others) for wearing an armband, symbolizing his dissention regarding the vietnam war, to his school. As for what Averad said, yes, but the court also ruled that the school had no real reason to feel a threat to safety.

so are we looking at whether or not this issue is protected by the constitution? Whether or not a person can be made to wear a certain thing?

The Sixth Circuit Court (which includes MI) already resolved the matter ... yes, a dress code is lawful.

Well, I was grimacing watching what seemed like you floundering in the breeze (pun intended) so I just wanted to put an end to it.

I thought of it as a mercy kill.

Try Hazelwood vs. Kuhlmeier -- from 1986. Took Tinker and twisted it. Schools can regulate behavior that would normally be protected under the first Amendment if it could be disruptive.
