Bill of Rights
are you sure
Yes, I am sure. The Bill of Rights specifically outlines and protects the civil liberties of U.S. citizens, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to bear arms, among others.
The statement below was made by Thomas Jefferson in a 1786 letter to John Jay.
"...our liberty, which cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the press..."
Why should this freedom be protected?

Apologies for the confusion. Upon reviewing the statement by Thomas Jefferson, it is clear that the freedom of the press should be protected to keep the government from becoming the primary information source. This means that a free press serves as a crucial check on the government, ensuring transparency, accountability, and the dissemination of accurate information to the public.

The basis for wearing an armband to school in order to protest an action taken by the government, as determined in the case Tinker v. Des Moines, is protected symbolic speech. The Supreme Court ruled that students retain their constitutional rights to freedom of expression while on school grounds, as long as their expression does not substantially disrupt the operation of the school.
