Answer 1

The correct response is: This scenario represents a violation of Semaj and Kevin’s Fourteenth Amendment rights. The Fourteenth Amendment protects individuals from discrimination and ensures equal protection under the law. In this scenario, it is unfair for the teacher to give Semaj and Kevin detention simply for expressing their support for environmental conservation through wearing green clothing.
