Dariano v. Morgan Hill Unified School District
Petition for certiorari denied on March 30, 2015
Issue: Whether the Ninth Circuit erred by allowing school officials to prevent students from engaging in a silent, passive expression of opinion by wearing American flag shirts because other students might react negatively to the pro-America message, thereby incorporating a heckler's veto into the free speech rights of students contrary to Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District and the decisions of other United States courts of appeals.
