Answer 1

The basis for wearing an armband to protest an action taken by the government, as established in the Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines, is protected symbolic speech. The Court ruled that students do not lose their First Amendment rights to free speech when they enter school, as long as their expression does not disrupt the educational process.
