Why do people always listen to the Supreme Court? What if they really disagree? Like, not just a person, but what if a whole state court system disagrees? They are voluntarily complied with.

I need to defend my opinion that students should still get freedom of speech in public schools, by using cases where the supreme court ruled in favor of the person that was arguing for freedom of speech (is that phrased right?)
