Yes, but to a certain extent. When people take advantage of symbolic speech, the First Amendment does not protect symbolic speech. They can consider symbolic speech as a right to say whatever they want, which can violate people's safety and protection, as well as policies. But having the right to speak freely about your opinion and convictions is a privilege and will be taken away if you take advantage of it.
