The Struggle for Student Rights: Tinker v. Des Moines and the 1960s (Landmark Law Cases and American Society)
"Johnson's sensitive and perceptive treatment of Tinker should make all of us aware that teaching students to be good citizens requires far more than drilling them on facts and dates; it requires, as the Supreme Court noted, that we teach democracy by example. This book ought to be required reading for anyone interested in the connection between democracy and education."--Melvin I. Urofsky, author ofA March of Liberty: A Constitutional History of the United States"Johnson tells a fascinating story embedded in a rich guide to federal courts at work. Give this book to everyone you know who is in high school or was recently there."--Linda K. Kerber, author ofToward an Intellectual History of Women"An immensely readable legal history of a landmark Supreme Court ruling and a compelling and intensely personal story about the lives and beliefs of the central figures in the case. A major contribution."--Melvin Small, author ofCovering Dissent: The Media and the Anti-Vietnam War Movement"A careful and readable study of the first major Supreme Court decision to protect students' freedom of expression from school boards' strict local control."--Paul L. Murphy, author ofWorld War I and the Origin of Civil Liberties in the United States--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
