Attorney Mike Hiestand announced today his dream for a national “Tinker Tour” with free speech champion Mary Beth Tinker to remind the next generation of the value of free speech and a strong, independent press. Tinker was one of the 1969 student plaintiffs in what is popularly known as the "armband case," where the U.S. Supreme Court first recognized the First Amendment rights of students to have their voices heard. More information about Mary Beth's case from the book "101 Changemakers" is available below.
