I chose Justice Clarence Thomas to make it easier for you to write. and the case I chose is below:
Goss v. Lopez (1975)
Holding: Students are entitled to certain due process rights.

Nine students at an Ohio public school received 10-day suspensions for disruptive behavior without due process protections. The Supreme Court ruled for the students, saying that once the state provides an education for all of its citizens, it cannot deprive them of it without ensuring due process protections.

*This case relates to students.
