Yes, a student is allow to express their political views while you at school. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article 1, Section 2 of the California Constitution guarantee freedom of speech and freedom of the press to all people, including students. In California, two special laws protect students' rights of freedom of speech and freedom of press in school. Section 48907 of the California Education Code gives a special guarantee that students have a right to express their political opinions. This includes, but is not limited to:
- wearing buttons, badges and other insignia (including
Armbands or message T-shirts)
- posting notices on school bulletin boards
- distributing petitions
- handing out other printed materials, such as leaflets
- Writing in public school newspapers and yearbooks
- Writing in "underground" (or unofficial) newspapers
The two special laws are Section 48907 and Section 48950 that applies to public school and private school protection over freedom of speech to students.
