In an opinion by Justice Marshall, the Court ruled that the Chicago's ordinance prohibiting non-labor pickets on school property violated the First Amendment's Freedom to Protest, as well as the Fourteenth Amendment of equal protection under the law.[1]
This decision was influenced by the precedents of past Supreme Court decisions such as Cox v. Louisiana (1965).[2]
