Use the passage to answer the question. Semaj and Kevin wanted to wear all green in support of saving the environment. Their teacher, who also happens to own a gas company grew angry when finding out about these plans. He gave them lunch detention after hearing about their plans. Analyze the scenario and decide whose Fourteenth Amendment right is violated. (1 point)
Semaj and Kevin's Fourteenth Amendment right to equal protection under the law may have been violated in this scenario. The teacher's response to their plans to support the environment by wearing green could be seen as discriminatory based on their beliefs and actions. By giving them lunch detention for expressing their views, the teacher may have violated their right to freedom of expression and equal treatment. This is because their teacher is punishing them for their beliefs and actions, which is not fair or equal treatment under the law.
