Thus upholds circuit court decision that shirt was ‘reasonably interpreted to demean’ others
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear the appeal of a middle school student who was banned from wearing a “There Are Only Two Genders” t-shirt at school.
Over two years ago, seventh-grade honor student Liam Morrison was prohibited from wearing the shirt based on Nichols Middle School’s speech code.
The code says “clothing must not state, imply, or depict hate speech or imagery that target groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious affiliation, or any other classification.”
