Read Morse v. Frederick,(S Ct 2007) (Morse)

The facts of a legal case are the story it tells. The issue is the question presented that the court is deciding. When reading Justice Robert's decision, right before section II, he clearly states the main issue in this case - we granted certiorari on two questions (don't worry about the first questioner).

Before you read the rest of the case, read the prompt below so that you can think about the facts of the Morse case and the cases discussed within (Tinker, Fraser and Kuhlmeir cases) versus the facts of the prompt

Prompt:

To protest a United States Supreme Court decision that is written by President Trump's newest Supreme Court nominee, Justice Barrett, students show up to a George Mason University accounting class wearing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissent collars (a white lace collar that Justice Ginsburg used to wear over her court robe). An accounting professor feels that the students are being disrespectful and tells the students that they must take the collars off if they want to attend class.

Answer the following questions:

Which constitutional right, if any, has the professor has violated? Be as specific as possible.

In Morse, Tinker, Frasier, andKuhlmeier, the students are in high school. In the prompt, the students are in college at a public university. Should the age and venue have an impact on your decision?Explain your answer.
