John Tinker

I appear to have a native instinct for machinery, electronics, and computers, but it is only an appearance. I am still trying to figure things out. To the outside world I am best known as the lead plaintiff in the 1969 U.S. Supreme Court case "Tinker v. Des Moines". It is by now a very well established precedent establishing core First Amendment rights for U.S. public school students.
