The basis for this is protected symbolic speech. In the landmark case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969), the Supreme Court ruled that students do not lose their First Amendment rights to free speech when they enter school property, as long as their expression does not cause a substantial disruption to the educational process. Wearing armbands in protest was considered symbolic speech protected under the First Amendment.
Based on the Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines, it would be legal for you to wear an armband to school in order to protest an action taken by our government if it did not create a distraction. What is the basis for this?
