Courts - "40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, which established students' free speech rights"

From C-SPAN's Amercia and the Courts program last evening:

February 24th marks the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, which established students' free speech rights. In an interview with Mary Beth Tinker and others, C-SPAN takes a look at the case, its effect on student speech, and how recent Supreme Court decisions have impacted students' free speech rights today.
Here is a long list of ILB entries on student free speech, including Friday's entries on "Harsh Words on the Web" and the 7th Circuit's decision in Hosty v. Carter in this March 24, 2006 ILB entry.
