RE: Your case request
Dear Jackson Jones, Thank you for your visit to our law firm last week. I have reviewed your case and the laws and cases it relates. Based on my analysis our firm has decided not to take your case. Your conduct was intolerable and the principal had all the rights to expel you due to the fact that you were on school property. Now if you were off school property and the principal saw you else where he would have had no say.
The first amendment to the constitution protects people from practicing their own religion, freedom of speech, press, assembly and the right to petition the government. So as you can understand the first amendment relates to your case very much. The law supports my decision due to the fact that you could have always expressed your anger in a distinct way.
A court case that is similar to your case is called Tinker v. Des Moines. In this case three students were expelled from their school for refusing to remove wristbands that protested the Vietnam War. This case is somewhat similar to your case because it involves the use of freedom of speech. I will in inform you that the judges did not find it a disruption to student education. The students were not actually protesting the Vietnam War they were just simply wearing them.
A new court case that involves an American flag being burned is United States v. Eichmann. In this case Eichmann was prosecuted for setting am American flag on fire. The use of the first amendment violated the use of freedom of speech.
If you would have been more considerate of your actions as of where you burned the flag your case could have been very different. Now do to the fact that you burned the flag in school property and in front of students it did disrupt the educational environment. It could of caused a fight between you and a student because he could of taken your actions offensive. Thank you for your time and I appreciate
