Which excerpt from Tinker v. Des Moines shows how precedent helps
support an argument?
O
A. "In our system, students may not be regarded as closed-circuit
recipients of only that which the State chooses to communicate."
O
B. "I for one, am not fully persuaded that school pupils are wise
enough, even with this Court's expert help from Washington, to run
the 23,390 public school systems (n4) in our 50 States."
O
C. "Other cases cited by the Court do not, as implied, follow the
McReynolds reasonableness doctrine. West Virginia v. Barnette,
319 U.S. 624, clearly rejecting the 'reasonableness' test, held that
the Fourteenth Amendment made the First applicable to the
States.
D. "Only a few of the 18,000 students in the school system wore the
black armbands. Only five students were suspended for wearing
them. There is no indication that the work of the schools or any
class was disrupted."​
