... obey school rules. Parents of one of the students, MaryBeth. The Tinker's disputed the suspension of MaryBeth and her brother, John, and took their case all the way to the Supreme Court. 2. The Tinker's accused the school district of violating MaryBeth's rights as stated in the first and fourteenth amendments.

The punishment that the school district endured was that adverse publicity and a challenge to the authority of a school district, or school to establish rules for student behavior and conduct. 3.

... has led the world to realize that women are extremely useful in combat. Defense secretary Dick Chaney said "Women have made a major contribution to this [war] effort. We could not have won without them." Leaders in the field agreed. The Gulf War had the largest deployment of women in the armed forces in history. These women encountered the same risks as the men they served with. Twenty one females lost their lives (Holm, Women in Combat: The New Reality, pg. 67-68).

... in the United States than we have seen in a very long time. And a big help in this was the making of the new and harsher laws. Though these new laws have helped fight crime and punish the people who commit these crimes. They have also punished the majority of the people in the United States who don’t commit these crimes. They limit our freedom to do many of the things that have been looked on as just natural in the past. They have made it harder and more costly to own and buy guns, otherwise known as the Right to Bear Arms. This being one of the first principles that this government was established on.

She is accustomed to living in violence, and her fearfulness and passivity are emphasized above all.
