6th Circuit upholds school ban on Lets Go Brandon shirts.

Honestly, keep the political shirts out of schools. We've got enough to deal with

funny how these things only seem to apply to conservatives.

Sorry, but to do that, we’d have to keep the Constitution out as well. This opinion is clearly wrong and SCOTUS should grant cert.

Look at the typical school administration and teachers. You'll get your answers that way

I'd be fine with that decision as long as its applied to banning clothing with left wing messaging on it too. But we know its probably not and that kids will still be allowed to wear their rainbow flag crap and shirts that say "no one is illegal" or "my body, my choice" and whatnot.

I disagree. I wish for open debate to begin early in life and anyone who stifles it, especially if the use of physical or mental harm is caused, is promptly arrested for the criminal act or sued for damages to plaintiff.

The fed spends 5 cents on Civics education annually per student and 54 dollars per student annually on STEM.

Go Figger!!

Schools are filled with people making political points. Teachers teaching liberal talking points, coaches fired for taking a knee, DEI in classrooms with levels of education, boys in girls bathrooms and much more. But a shirt that says let’s go Brandon is banned while a male teacher can hang pride flags ? I believe none of this should be allowed as you try to point out but it is not a reality anymore.

I'm not sure even that would make it legal.

It satisfies the Equal Protection Clause, but it still doesn't seem to get by the 1st Amendment to me.

I think they would have to go so far as to require uniforms in order to get by that one.

There was another thread on this earlier. This is a copy/paste

School speech is regulated more than normal speech. This is the speech the USSC ruled (7-2 so not close) that w school could suspend a student over previously (to set the precedent)

I know a man who is firm – he's firm in his pants, he's firm in his shirt, his character is firm – but most . . . of all, his belief in you, the students of Bethel, is firm. Jeff Kuhlman is a man who takes his point and pounds it in. If necessary, he'll take an issue and nail it to the wall. He doesn't attack things in spurts – he drives hard, pushing and pushing until finally – he succeeds. Jeff is a man who will go to the very end – even the climax, for each and every one of you. So vote for Jeff for A. S. B. vice-president – he'll never come between you and the best our high school can be.

Fraser case

quote:

---

The Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals in a 7–2 vote to reinstate the suspension, saying that the school district's policy did not violate the First Amendment.[16] Chief Justice Warren Burger delivered the Court's opinion, in what ended up along with the Gramm–Rudman decision (Bowsher v. Synar) to be the final case of the Burger Court era. Justice William J. Brennan delivered a concurring opinion, while Justice Harry Blackmun concurred in the majority without authoring an opinion. Thurgood Marshall and John Paul Stevens dissented.[16]

Though the Court distinguished its 1969 decision Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, which upheld the right of students to express themselves where their words (or in that case, the wearing of a protest armband) are non-disruptive and could not be seen as connected with the school, Fraser limits the scope of that ruling, by prohibiting certain styles of expression that are sexually vulgar

Innuendo is all you need, unfortunately.

I fought this fight in high school 25+ years ago.

That is the real crux of the matter...

It isn't the rules but are the rules being evenly applied. All across the board, when you ask that question, you keep getting a resounding 'NO' as the answer.
