A person can wear a religious symbol or attire but not religious sayings in public schools. ANY religion. This has been the case for years. Public education is paid for by the public of all faiths. Go to a religious school that is private and one can do this. I'm a Christian and wouldn't want a person of a different faith trying to convert my child to another religion in a public school.

Way off. A school CAN NOT restrict speech in school that does not disrupt the learning environment. This comes from Tinker v. Des Moines. Very simple concept. The exception to this would be a uniform policy. I don't mean a policy applied uniformly, I mean actual uniforms. But even then students are be allowed to proselytize, participate in student-led prayer (See You At The Pole), express political opinions, or any number of other things.

Ironically, both opponents and proponents of student dress codes point to the same U.S. Supreme Court ruling to support their positions Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969). In this famous decision, the Court ruled 7-2 that public school officials could not censor student expression the wearing of black armbands, in that case unless they could reasonably forecast that the student expression would cause substantial disruption or material interference with school activities or would invade the rights of others.

Dress-code opponents emphasize that students convey a multitude of messages on their clothing, ranging from political slogans, music lyrics, and support for a favorite athletic team. They argue that school officials cannot censor student expression unless they can show that the clothing will disrupt the school environment. They contend that Tinker stands for the fundamental principle that students have the right to wear clothing with messages, just as the students in the 1960s could wear black armbands to protest the Vietnam War.

CAN I WEAR CLOTHING THAT COMMUNICATES A POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS MESSAGE?

Yes. In the 1969 case of Tinker v. Des Moines, one of the most well-known student rights' cases considered by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Court ruled that students had a constitutional right to wear a black armband to school to protest U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Since then, courts have continued to hold that students generally have a right to express political views through their clothing. This can include, for example, wearing clothing that endorses or criticizes a politician or, as in more recent cases, wearing t-shirts concerning gay rights. Additionally, schools cannot prohibit students from wearing clothes that are in observance of their religion, such as a Muslim wearing a hijab in school.

Allow students to pray, carry religious texts, discuss religious topics, and pass out religious materials on the school bus, at the flagpole, in the corridors outside of class time, in the cafeteria, etc., as long as their behavior is not disruptive.

Allow students to wear religious jewelry and clothing with religious symbols and statements -- subject of course to safety considerations. Students do not leave their First Amendment rights at the front door of the school building.

Schools can't discriminate based on the viewpoint expressed by your clothing.

The First Amendment prohibits schools from picking and choosing which views students are allowed to express. All views have to be treated equally, so long as they are not obscene or disruptive. This means that if a school permits items like t-shirts with slogans, buttons, or wristbands, it has to permit them no matter what message they express.

Shirts with printed messages are forms of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. Courts have only allowed suppression of symbolic speech in public schools if it were lewd or obscene, Broussard v. Sch. Brd. of City of Norfolk (E.D.

Wearing a religious slogan is not considered proselytizing, if done by a student.

The highlighted bit that you ignore is key. Public school officials cannot lead religious activities, because the government cannot limit religious freedom. Students, who are not employees of the government, still have their their freedom of religion protected. A government official punishing students for expressing their religious beliefs is a clear violation of the First Amendment. Hence student lead prayer and Bible studies are allowed.
