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 no create a distraction. What is the basis for this
Establishment clause
Freedom of petition
Protected symbolic speech
Freedom to assemble peacefully
The basis for this is the protection of symbolic speech. In the Tinker v Des Moines case, the Supreme Court ruled that students have the right to express their opinions through symbolic speech, as long as it does not substantially disrupt the educational environment. Wearing an armband to protest an action taken by the government is considered a form of symbolic speech and falls under protected First Amendment rights. The Establishment Clause, Freedom of Petition, and Freedom to Assemble Peacefully are also important constitutional principles, but they may not be as relevant to this specific scenario.
