The correct answer is:
This scenario represents a violation of Semaj and Kevin's Fourteenth Amendment rights.
To determine whose Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated in this scenario, we need to understand what the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees. The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that no state shall "deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
In this scenario, Semaj and Kevin wanted to wear all green in support of saving the environment. However, their teacher, who owns a gas company, became angry upon hearing about their plans and gave them lunch detention. The violation of Semaj and Kevin's Fourteenth Amendment rights can be argued as they were not treated equally and fairly. Their teacher's anger and the subsequent punishment can be seen as a form of discrimination or unfair treatment based on their belief or support for environmental protection.
Therefore, Semaj and Kevin's Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated in this scenario.
