The basis for wearing an armband to school in order to protest an action taken by the government, as established in the Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines, is protected symbolic speech. This case recognized that students do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech at the schoolhouse gate, as long as their actions do not disrupt the educational process.
