    The Constitution and the Amendments are the basics of the US’s politics. However, sometimes, people, especially young people and teenagers, don’t have enough knowledge about it and so, they begin to abuse it as an excuse for any problem. Fortunately, in his “Why First Amendment still matters to students” article, Tony Mauro addressed this issue, but in a smaller scale, in schools and among students. To be more specific, according to Mauro, school officials often develop amnesia about the Tinker case, the case where a student was being violated of her rights by school officials, whenever a student deviates from some standard of behavior. Even though he had good intention when saying this, Mauro’s point of view was off target.…

    Students do not "shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate," the Supreme Court famously said that in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. However, in the digital age, the formal request of Tinker has been very complicated by the fact that the schoolhouse gate is no longer restricted in certain categories to a brick-and-mortar structure, but may it now be a student 's home computer, tablet, or cell phone. In recent years, the number of social media and technology has provided people who teach others and people who support a policy alike with challenges concerning the legal rule made and protected by authority of student behavior, speech, and facial expressions, and whether the famous Tinker declaration stays…
