Which court case established that students do not leave their constitutional right to free speech 'at the schoolhouse gate'?

Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969)
Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser (1986)
Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988)
Shen v. Albany Unified School District (2017)

The correct answer is: Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969)

Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969) is the correct answer because it is the court case that established the precedent that students do not leave their constitutional right to free speech "at the schoolhouse gate." This means that even within the school setting, students still have the right to express their opinions and ideas without fear of censorship or punishment. The other options, Bethel School District No. 403 v. Fraser (1986), Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier (1988), and Shen v. Albany Unified School District (2017), all involved school districts or administrators restricting or censoring student speech. These cases do not pertain to the overall question of whether or not students have constitutional free speech rights in the school setting. Additionally, these cases were decided after Tinker, making them later and potentially less relevant to the establishment of the precedent.
