Speaker at AHS
On Thursday March 24th, Mary Beth Tinker from the famous 1st Amendment case Tinker v. Des Moines visited Alpharetta High School. Tinker v. Des Moines was a case about students being able to protest the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands. She spoke to students in Government, AP Government, and AP US History students, as well as some other students and teachers, about the importance and significance of the case. She also talked about student rights and responsibilities in schools, and about issues concerning students in schools today. Students were also given the opportunity to ask questions about the case and about how it impacted her life.
