The correct answer is C) because they wanted to avoid the discomfort of facing an unpopular view.

In the majority opinion, Fortas suggested that the reason the school authorities suspended the students was that they wanted to avoid the discomfort of facing an unpopular view.

We are referring to the case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District that was decided on February 24, 1969.

In 1965, five students decided to wear black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War and they were suspended by the school for doing that. In the majority opinion, Judge Abe Fortas suggested that the reason the school authorities suspended the students was that they wanted to avoid the discomfort of facing an unpopular view. At the end of the case, the Court decided that the use of armbands as a protest was not a motive to cause any disruption and that the protest was protected by freedom of speech.

The other options of the question were A) because they thought that Constitutional rights did not apply to school settings. B) because they preferred that students wrote essays on Vietnam instead. D) because they feared that students wanted to take over the school.

The scientific method is a process of rational thought and common sense. True or false.
Katen [24]
This is false. 

It is false because a scientific method is a lot more complex and has many steps which need to be fulfilled for it to be valid. Rationality and common sense are not enough for something to be scientific as sometimes something can be irrational or almost nonsensical and yet scientific.

Which can you conclude about the 92-year-old speaker in the poem?
Inga [223]
Answer: <span>A. She relies on the window to be her gateway to the world; without it, she would miss out on life.

The speaker sees beauty in everything despite her old age. She is happy to see the world outside by peeking at the window next to her bed. She was able to describe everything in a light tone of appreciation. </span>
