In the case Tinker v. Des Moines, one of the dissenting judges was Hugo Black. Justice Black argued that the First and Fourteenth Amendments did not allow government to censor the content of speech. However, this did not mean that people were able to engage in demonstrations in any way and at any time they pleased. He argued that the students had been disruptive, and therefore, should not have been allowed to continue with their protest.
