Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District/Concurrence White
United States Supreme Court
Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District
Argued: Nov. 12, 1968. --- Decided: Feb 24, 1969
Mr. Justice WHITE, concurring.
While I join the Court's opinion, I deem it appropriate to note, first, that the Court continues to recognize a distinction between communicating by words and communicating by acts or conduct which sufficiently impinges on some valid state interest; and, second, that I do not subscribe to everything the Court of Appeals said about free speech in its opinion in Burnside v. Byars, 363 F.2d 744, 748 (C.A.5th Cir. 1966), a case relied upon by the Court in the matter now before us.
