Actually, this is pretty important. If this had been allowed to stand, *any* off-campus speech that didn’t toe the Democrat educator line could result in students being punished. Any student angry they got screwed by Democrat educators, protesting against their treatment? Punished. Wear a Trump shirt on vacation and post a pic to social media? Punished.

Think about that.

BOOM!

This is a victory for free speech and a blow to cancel culture.

BOOM!

Seems like a lot of people forget that these First Amendment cases don’t reach the Big Bench because the people involved are pleasant and admirable, and gosh darn it people like them.

It really doesn’t matter how foul and despicable the ‘speaker’ might be, they still have their First Amendment rights. And NOTHING in the Bill of Rights says anything about limiting those rights based on age.

Which brings up other interesting questions, of course.

A girl needs her Dad to be the rock. Mom can smack her butt, while Dad doles out punishment in more creative ways.

What planet were you from?   Dad had a belt which was not creative at all.

there are many far more important free speech issues to be addressed that actually directly affect people who aren't cheerleaders.

Wear a Trump shirt on vacation and post a pic to social media? Punished.

Think about that.

It doesn't take any thought at all.

If you don't like "social media" destroying and by extension controlling your life...DON'T PLAY ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

Whose the fool in this picture?
Think about that genius.

Hate to tell you, but in schools these days, social media is practically required. Not joking.

This decision also could end up applying to colleges.

Large tattoos at that age? What’s her future plans? A stripper’s pole?

[higgmeister]

LOL   And a key phrase was "whale the tar out of you."

[Spktyr]

14 in 2017 is 18 in 2021. That’s not a large tattoo by modern standards, either.

[Bigg Red]

Well, I suppose we will have to agree to disagree.

[Spktyr]

It’s been a thing even before the Boomers. Remember Mae West?

[Leep]

American law..like much of politics..has become a clown show.

[dennisw]

Now Levy and family must sue skool for legal fees.

But there were just a small number of floozies then, and few people celebrated their behavior. Mothers warned their daughters not to behave that way, and most of the girls followed the advice. Now....

[Spktyr]

Profanity and vulgarity are separate from ‘loose sexual mores,’ to start.

Second, your whole thing about ‘floozies’ and such? That’s literally just a 50s thing and more an exception to the rule of the past couple centuries. Remember the Jazz Age of the Twenties? Remember the flappers? Unfeminine, but that was the ideal of the time. Mothers were actually adopting the dress style along with their daughters - and profane language use was common among women at the time. Going back further, look at the suffragettes and the temperance movement - profane women, who had nothing to do with being ‘easy’.
