## Opinion text

Dissenting.
DeBruler, J.
My overall view of this ease continues to be that the teachers here involved, like all citizens, have a constitutionally protected right to conduct themselves in any manner that they see fit, so long as they do not act in a manner which violates a reasonable and existing law. My research of the law of Indiana reveals that at the time these teachers peacefully demonstrated the firmness of their demands concerning terms of employment to the school board and community, by stopping work and picketing, there was no law in this State which prohibited such action.
Consequently, in my opinion, the trial court erred, when it judicially determined that a violation of law had occurred. I vote in favor of granting a rehearing in this case.
Jackson, J., concurs.
