This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

Young (D) was convicted of a statute that made it illegal to enter a school with the intent to disrupt classes and otherwise interfere with the peace and good order of that school. D was a lay minister active in organizing students to protest the suspension of a student for refusing to stand for a flag salute. On the day of the incident, D was present at the school and took a leadership role in a student sit-in, although he had been asked to leave by the superintendent of the school. D contends that the act of entering a public school is in itself blameless and that it is beyond the power of the State to punish an innocent act merely because of a forbidden purpose.
