It depends of the specifics of the assignment (history, current events, demonstration of the principle, etc.).
However: an important and well-known case was the 1968 Tinker case, in which the children of the Tinker family wore black armbands to school to protest the Vietnam War. They were suspended from school, but in the Supreme Court, they successfully defended their actions as being protected by the First Amendment right to freedom of speech.

You could do your project on censorship of books. I linked below a list of books that various organizations have censored or banned, often under the guise of protecting children from explicit content. Note that some of them, like Fahrenheit 451, or Nineteen Eighty-Four, deal explicitly with the issue of censorship!

You could collect newpaper articles that touch on current touchy issues such as Global Warming, Immigration, and Racism. You could also collect pictures that correspond to the issues and make a sort of slide show and provide your thoughts as to what you think would happen if the articles never got to be published. Would anything be different? If so, how?

Why don't you research Free Universities of the 1960's? The most famous was at Berkeley.
