I know at work there's a thing called being professional but if you were able to let your guard down there and be authentic with no bs, how would that go? Things like that is what I'm wondering

"Students do not shed their rights at the school house door". Chief Justice Earl Warren in Tinker vs DeMoines Central School District 1969 concerning the legality of students wearing black arm bands as a silent protest of the Vietnam War.

As a teacher I can SEE & EMPATHIZE with both sides BUT this is a "Fuck your feelings" issue for me; free, unfettered & robust protections for free speech are primary & paramount over some alleged potential "bullying".

I KNOW these kids. They DGAF & have a "live and let live" attitude. This is the PARENTS & SCHOOL BOARD getting involved where they don't need to be.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court declined Tuesday to hear a Massachusetts student's challenge to his middle school’s prohibition on his wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan “There are only two genders.”

The case arose from student Liam Morrison’s dispute with Nichols Middle School in Middleboroug. Lawyers for Morrison at the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal advocacy group, say students were “bombarded” with messages promoting the view “that sex and gender are self-defined, limitless, and unmoored from biology.”

Morrison believes that view is “false and harmful,” and he responded in March 2023 when he was in the seventh grade by wearing the T-shirt. After he was told to remove it, he later wore another shirt that said, “There are [censored] genders.”

Morrison was not punished for wearing the shirts, although he was told he could not wear them in class and was sent home when he refused to remove the first one.

This case presents an issue of great importance for our nation's youth: whether public schools may suppress student speech either because it expresses a viewpoint that the school disfavors or because of vague concerns about the likely effect of the speech on the school atmosphere or on students who find the speech offensive,".
