Amanda's Case Summary: Students in a school wanted to wear armbands to express their opinions about the war in Vietnam. School officials found out that students were planning to do so and set a rule saying that students were not allowed to wear black armbands. The students still did it and were suspended. The case went to court and the students won because they have the freedom to express their opinions.
Amendment: This case falls into the First Amendment because the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech. Even though the students were wearing armbands instead of speaking they were still expressing their opinions and that is a right given to them by the First Amendment.
