Explanation:

Question 4

The Tinker v. Des Moines case dealt with student free speech in schools. Justice Fortas stated that students don't shed their constitutional right to free speech at the schoolhouse gate. Option a is incorrect (no danger to nation's safety), option b is incorrect (not about defying officials or a new era of permissiveness), option d is about church - state separation (not related to Tinker case). So option c is correct.

The Tinker v. Des Moines decision was about student free speech. It was interpreted as meaning that school administrators could not censor free expression (unless it disrupted school). Option a is incorrect (no requirement to shut down school newspapers), option b is incorrect (not about Bible clubs), option c is incorrect (not about dress codes being nullified). So option d is correct.

Answer:

c. Students do not shed their constitutional right to free speech at the schoolhouse gate.
