Just another activist Leftist in a black robe.
Even if the statement was not true, it would still be 1A protected speech.
If a similar incident would happen in Russia, I bet such a boy would get a pat on the shoulder and probably will be told “Good boy” As Russia hasn’t gotten quite that depraved yet. They may have other problems, but I think having difficulties defining a male and a woman isn’t one of them. And my hunch is they like to keep it this way.
“The judge suggested that the T-shirt interfered with other students’ ‘right to attend school without being confronted by messages attacking their identities,’
Does evidence that you are really stupid confront your identity of being ‘elite’.
She sure drank a tall one.
Today I learned scientific facts are not ‘protected speech’
The truth is now false , down is up and up is down ,LOL
Can we please replace one of our RINO reps with this gutsy kid?
Have to then ask: why are only two genders offered in a trannie operation?
And this is why we will lose the biology wars. The basic biology deniers will shove it through with the Marxist-infected judicial system like always.
They are already blocking the “gender-affirming care” bans in the courts.
You may as well face it that we are living in a dead civilization.
“If you want to know who controls you, look at whom you’re not allowed to criticize.”
The judge in this case was appointed by President Obama and confirmed by the US Senate in a 94-0 vote. All Republicans present that day voted for her.
More proof the GOP is complicit in the destruction of the republic.
Indeed.
Here is the problem with labeling speech writ large. Once you start classifying speech .... political speech, commercial speech, religious speech, hate speech, etc. It becomes easy to say that some types of speech can be restricted.
Well - I am pretty authoritarian about how a school is run - I think the 1960s “free speech” cases were wrongly decided, and that students who “speak freely” by wearing messages, to the extent that they are disruptive, should have to wear something else.
However, I don’t endorse viewpoint discrimination for schools that unwisely allow political messages in the classroom.
And, of course, this is viewpoint discrimination.
The Constitution is dead.
The t-shirt is protected speech outside of schools. It is well established law that schools can restrict particular speech that disrupts the learning environment. Doesn’t matter if the restricted speech is truthful or factual. In contrast to most government speech rules, the school restrictions don’t have to be viewpoint neutral.
Though to keep things simple, schools often ban all logos or t-shirts with messages — often to reduce gang or drugs messaging.
Some of the language from the school supports the view. For instance, the student handbook says at one point that all aspects of education “must be fully open and available to members of both sexes” and at another point says that sexual harassment is defined as … “written materials or pictures derogatory to either gender.”
Yup, when the school puts it in writing, they really are saying the same thing as the student in his shirt.
Yep.
I have been pointing this out for a decade here on FR. But for some reason the word "sex" seems to turn a lot of people here into 12 year olds.
I tell them that Queen Victoria publicly and unblushingly used the word "sex" properly. You are not more of a lady then she was.
Men are men
Women are women
You can chop, tape and glue on anything you like but you can never change your DNA. Has the parameters for what is a ‘gender’ changed over the years. I mean at one point , it was understood there were but two I imagine and it was directly correlated to ones sex. So the more recent additions of common or neutral- I wonder what basis they have for being created in the first place.
