You ca n't be an American and not grant other Americans freedom . The students ' protest resulted in the Supreme Court 's 1969 ruling in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District that students " do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of expression at the schoolhouse gate " and that students can express themselves freely unless their actions caused a substantial disruption of the educational environment .

For Immediate ReleaseARLINGTON , Va. — A Florida college student newspaper that has battled to keep public records open despite intense opposition has been named the recipient of the 2003 College Press Freedom Award.The award to The Independent Florida Alligator , a student newspaper at the University of Florida , was presented at the Associated Collegiate Press / College Media Advisers national convention in Dallas on Saturday , Nov. 8.The award , sponsored by the Student Press Law Center and the Associated Collegiate Press , is given each year to a college student journalist or student news organization that has demonstrated outstanding support for the free press rights of students.For the last two years , The Independent has fought to prevent Florida courts from permanently sealing the autopsy photos of race car driver Dale Earnhardt and from enforcing a law , passed two months after his death , that allows Florida state officials and judges to determine the editorial appropriateness of a freedom of information request before making government documents available.The newspaper contends that the law sets a dangerous precedent and violates the First Amendment because it allows courts to grant or deny access to public records based on a speaker 's viewpoint.In September , The Independent Florida Alligator appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court in a final effort to preserve public access to the photos . “ A public university is free to express the values it holds dear , but it may not require students to adopt those values , and it may not punish students because their opinion and speech dissent from some official university view , ” said Alan Charles Kors , FIRE ’ s chairman.Shippensburg has changed the wording in the code of conduct to read “ No person shall engage in conduct that constitutes unlawful discrimination based on another person ’ s race , color , sex , religion , age or national origin .
