What I’ve read was that the student violated the schools standard of conduct. The Student Handbook laid out specific do’s and don’ts and she broke the rules by her profane snapchat.
Which lead to her NOT being selected to the Cheer Squad.
This may or may not be actual and factual, but consider this:
Clarence Thomas is the most conservative Justice there is. The rest are hardcore liberals and moderate Repubs.
I deeply respect his position; I trust his ruling over the rest.
The article indicates that as a result of her criticism of the program upon not making the varsity squad, she was removed from the cheerleading team totally. She was already a member of the cheerleading team.
FYI, that sort of remark could have been made if she lost out on varsity not because of insufficient performance but because she had insufficient melanin in her skin, an increasingly common thing these days.
As for Clarence Thomas? Foucha v. Louisiana. He opposed the removal of sane recovered patients from insane asylums and the restoration of their rights.
A schools standard of conduct ends at the school door, especially with an offense as minor as this one. No government organization should suppress free speech.
Now, if I was her parent, I would punish her for the foul language she used.
