I dyed a scarlet red streak in my hair and the principal made me dye it back to brown. Could it be considered protesting if I took cans of that colored party hair spray and sprayed my hair green for school?

no the right to assemble peacefully is first amendment Bill of Rights. People often mistake that for the right to protest. However, since you are a student then your school has the right to determine your dress code. You could spray your hair, but your principal can expel you. Does your school have a written dress code? Specifically stating your hair cannot be of that nature? If not then I would take it up with the school board.

yes the right to protest is covered under free speech BUT as a high school student, YOU, unfortunately are not. Just like they can search your locker with out probable cause, they can make you dye your hair back to brown and dictate what kind of clothing you wear etc ect ad naseum, unless your parents chose to intervene on your behalf.

School is not a forum for free speech, it is a controlled environment. If you wish, you can take your case to the school board and ask for clarification or change of the rules.
Mouthing off or acting out will not win you any points with the powers that be.

School is a different issue, I also teach civics and you do have a right to free speech, petition, religion, assembly, and press
BUT if the principal feels like it would be disruptive to the school learning environment, unfortunally the school would win---sucks sorry

You are a child, and as such, you are not a full citizen. Your immediate duty is to attend school, and obey your teachers. Don't be a brat.

Well, according to your fearless Leader, NOTHING is protected by the constitution any more. Better get used to that!

It is. The right does not let you do that anywhere you please.
