Final answer:

Option D claiming armbands caused disruption is the least effective argument against Supreme Court decision favoring students' right to wear armbands.


Explanation:

The least effective argument in supporting the dissent of the Supreme Court decision in favor of students' right to wear armbands to school is option D, which claimed that the armbands caused disruption interfering with learning. This argument was deemed ineffective because the court found no evidence of actual disruption caused by the armbands and emphasized that the symbolic speech of wearing armbands was protected under the First Amendment.

On the contrary, the Tinker v. Des Moines case of 1969 set a precedent where students' right to symbolic speech through wearing armbands was upheld as protected under the Constitution. The court ruled that such forms of peaceful protest do not justify school officials suppressing students' freedom of speech.
