That [schools] are educating the young for citizenship is reason for scrupulous protection of Constitutional freedoms of the individual, if we are not to strangle the free mind at its source and teach youth to discount important principles of our government as mere platitudes. West Virginia v.

It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights ... at the schoolhouse gate. Tinker v. Des Moines (1969)
