Wearing black arm-bands in protest is protected by the First Amendment

In the case of Tinker v. Des Moines, the United States Supreme Court ruled that wearing armbands in protest was a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. This means that public school students have the right to express their political opinions through their clothing, as long as it does not disrupt the learning environment. The other options are incorrect because they do not pertain to the specific issue addressed in Tinker v. Des Moines.
