Answer 3

Yes, the basis for wearing an armband to protest an action taken by the government is protected symbolic speech. In the Tinker v. Des Moines Supreme Court case, it was ruled that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." As long as the protest does not create a substantial disruption or disturbance in the school environment, students have the right to express their views through symbolic speech, such as wearing an armband.
