QUEsTION 192 polnts Can It Pass the Test? The Tinker Test says schools can't restrict student speech unless it (1) disrupts learning or (2) violates another student's rights. Use the Tinker Test and identify the correct response to the situation. A student places a political sticker on the outside of her locker that says a particular ethnic group is dangerous. sELECT AN answEr Restrict - It disrupts learning. Restrict - It violates another student's rights. Don't restrict - It's freedom of speech.

1. The Tinker Test establishes that schools may not restrict student speech unless it either: - Disrupts the learning process, or - Violates the rights of another student. 2. In this scenario, the student places a political sticker on her locker with a message claiming a particular ethnic group is dangerous. This message is likely to make students who identify with that ethnic group feel unsafe or targeted. 3. Since the sticker's content can be seen as violating the rights of those affected by creating a hostile environment (even if it doesn't necessarily cause widespread disruption to learning), the speech falls under the second exception. 4. Therefore, according to the Tinker Test, the correct response is to restrict the speech because it violates another student's rights. Answer: Restrict - It violates another student's rights.
