In my opinion, I think that john tinker rights were violated. It was violated in a way that Mr. tinker was not given the right to self expression on how he felt. According to the first amendment that was established in 1789, they violated his rights.
The First Amendment clearly states:"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
