The Spin

SCOTUS should've heard this case because public schools are engaging in blatant viewpoint discrimination by silencing students who express traditional views on gender while they promote opposing perspectives through Pride events and rainbow displays. This selective enforcement of dress codes based on ideological preferences violates the fundamental principle that the government cannot silence speakers simply because it disapproves of their message.

School officials have a responsibility to protect vulnerable transgender and gender-nonconforming students who face serious mental health challenges, including suicidal ideation, when subjected to demeaning messages about their identities. Morrison's shirts created a poisoned educational atmosphere that interfered with students' ability to concentrate and learn in a safe environment. The lower courts ruled correctly and SCOTUS was right to turn down this case.
