Question 34 • SA FL-2106010-M/J Civics S1 26-27

Which action is not protected by the First Amendment?

Answer
A
a transgender student wears a tuxedo to his high school’s senior prom
B
a female basketball player wears a hijab while playing on her high school team
C
a voter questions the qualifications of a political candidate during a TV town hall
D
a government employee leaks a classified document that threatens national security

Explanation

The First Amendment protects many forms of expression, including political criticism and religious or personal expression, though school and workplace rules can affect how those rights apply. A government employee’s unauthorized leak of classified information that threatens national security can be restricted and prosecuted; it is not protected in the same way as the other actions. The correct choice is “a government employee leaks a classified document that threatens national security.”
