Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In 1965, a public school district in Iowa suspended three teenagers for wearing black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. Their families filed suit, and in 1969 the case reached the Supreme Court. The Court ruled that the school district had violated the students’ free speech rights.
