Saw this and thought it was mildly interesting from a constitutional perspective. I was under the impression that armbands would be considered constitutionally protected speech.
If we’re just dealing with the constitutional question here, I think the difference between the case cited and this one is that the case involving students did not have them directly protesting another student. I’m not sure about other free speech questions surrounding protests on school grounds that are unobtrusive, but that would be my guess as to what the symmetry breaker will be.
