we grew up in the des moines school system. in the des moines school system, we were taught that america is a free country and that in a free country, we have freedom of speech. we understood we did not have wear the black arm band. we understood we didn't have the right to disrupt the school. an armband does not make any noise. it represents a belief, and our belief was that the war in vietnam was wrong. when we got kicked out of school we appealed it to the school board. this is america. our mother and our father -- you see her black armband. i am back behind there somewhere. we all attended the school board meeting, and the school board decided to support the principals. we had been kicked out of school. the iowa civil liberties union which is now the aclu iowa chapter recommended we go back to school without the armbands on so that we would not complicate our case with truancy issues, and that we sue the school system for violating our first amendment rights. we lost at the district court. judge stevenson felt it was a firs
