COURT DECISION

FACTS OF THE CASE

MY OPINION

The Supreme Court made the correct decision

Controversy over freedom of speech within schools will probably continue with the rise in media coverage

MORSE V. FREDERICK

Decided on June 15, 2007

  • Delivered by Chief Justice Roberts

Two major questions were to be answered

Used several previous cases to reach the decision

MORSE

  • Attempting to maintain a positive environment
  • Banner promoted illegal drug use
  • Violation of school policy
  • School approved event and teachers were supervising

FREDERICK

  • Utilized his First Amendment rights
  • Banner was a random phrase meant to get on camera
  • The Torch Relay took place off school grounds
  • Teachers were not stopping students that left the event

Majority was public controversy

  • How much power people believed schools should have?
  • Did the banner advocated illegal drug use or

was meaningless?

  • Could he be punished because he was not technically in school?

Occurred on January 24, 2002 in Juneau, Alaska

  • Torch Relay event for upcoming Olympics
  • nationally televised
