Would you let your freshman (14 yo) go to DC with friends and no adult? On metro from Rockville?

Yes. As long s/he had a phone and money.
From the parent of a 15yo boy who probably has more supervision (and/or is less adventurous) than the average teen |

| Yes, the metro part is obviously no problem. If it is the parade you are worried about, keep in mind that at this event there will be tons of parents and little kids, plus security, and for some reason that makes it feel safer than sending them alone to a concert or rally on a controversial topic. |

| Yes. Good to break through your fear! |

| Yes. They need to learn how to use the Metro, OP, and be comfortable on it. This is much prefereable to car services. |

Yes. For that reason, yes. I assume it's not convenient for a parent to go? They ought to be allowed to go.
If it was just any-old-reason they dreamed-up that they wanted to go downtown, then no but this event is a special occasion. No reason not to allow it. |
