Court Upholds Massachusetts Public Middle School's Ban on 7th Grader's 'Two Genders' T-Shirt
Jun 10, 2024, 04:57 PM
A federal appeals court has upheld a Massachusetts public middle school's decision to ban a 7th grader from wearing a T-shirt that read 'There are only two genders.' The First Circuit ruled that the school's action did not violate the student's First Amendment rights. The court emphasized that the school's obligation to protect LGBTQ+ students from discrimination takes precedence over the student's free speech rights. The opinion was authored by Judge Barron, an Obama nominee, with other Obama and Biden nominees on the panel.
