Solution
The form of symbolic speech that is NOT protected is "banners advocating drugs at schools". This is because the Supreme Court has ruled that schools can limit speech that is seen as promoting illegal drug use (Morse v. Frederick, 2007). The other examples - burning the flag (Texas v. Johnson, 1989), wearing armbands to school (Tinker v. Des Moines, 1969), and burning a cross to express views (Virginia v. Black, 2003) - have all been ruled as protected forms of symbolic speech under the First Amendment, although the latter may be considered a hate crime depending on the intent and context.
