Task: Text Completion
Input (English): claim that his assignment of an examination grade or a final grade is communication protected by the First Amendment. As does any communicative act, assigning a letter grade sends a message to the recipient. The message communicated by the letter grade “A” is virtually indistinguishable from the message communicated by a formal written evaluation indicating “excellent work.” Both communicative acts represent symbols that transmit a unique message. Because the assignment of a letter grade is symbolic communication intended to send a specific message to the student, the individual professor’s communicative act is entitled to some measure of First Amendment protection. Cf. Tinker v. Des Moines Indep. Community School Dist., 393 U.S. 503, 505-06, 89 S.Ct. 733, 735-36, 21 L.Ed.2d 731 (1969) (<HOLDING>); Brown v. Louisiana, 383 U.S. 131, 141-42, 86
