MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION Which of the following statements best sums up what the "Tinker standard" is for schools? Schools can limit student expression if they feel that expression might lead to the slightest of disruptions. Schools can limit student expression if they feel that expression might lead to a material or substantial disruption. Schools can never limit student expression. Schools can limit student expression if they feel that someone might be offended by that expression.

1. Begin by recalling the Tinker standard from the Supreme Court case *Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District*. 2. The ruling established that students do not lose their constitutional rights to freedom of speech at school unless their actions cause a material and substantial disruption to the educational environment. 3. Compare this to the provided options: - Option 1 exaggerates the limitation by suggesting that even the slightest disruption justifies restriction. - Option 3 is incorrect because it denies any possibility for restriction. - Option 4 focuses on offense rather than disruption. 4. Thus, the correct answer is: **Schools can limit student expression if they feel that expression might lead to a material or substantial disruption.**
