pls answer imideitly hw due tomorow you : )

Tinker v. Des Moines was a landmark Supreme Court decision because it guaranteed the students' rights to free speech in public schools.

Tinker v Des Moines  ( 1969 ) ruled that the First Amendment applied to students at schools, and that the school authorities were wrong in trying to infringe on these rights.

Some students in Des Moines, Iowa, protested against the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to schools. The principal of the schools asked them to remove the armbands, otherwise they would be suspended.

The case went to court and the school was given the right to suspend the protesting students. The Supreme Court, however, ruled in favor of them, stating that the First Amendment did apply to public schools, and that the school administrators had no reason to censor the students' speech as they did not cause any disruption.

This case is important because it shows that school officials do not posses absolute authority over their students.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
