Cheerleader’s Snapchat rant leads to ‘momentous’ Supreme Court case on speech
For those who can't read the article, here's a summary:> Brandi Levy sent a profanity-laden post to her friends on Snapchat in 2017, venting her frustrations with cheerleading and her school. When coaches at the Pennsylvania school discovered the post, she was barred from the squad for a year. The case will determine whether schools have the right to punish pupils for what they say off-campus. It is being viewed as a major test of the US Constitution's First Amendment, which protects free speech rights.As for my own thoughts... I'm hoping the outcome of this case can be used as a litmus test for related bannings/cancellations when people express an opinion "off-campus" (so to speak).Edit: More info about the case here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahanoy_Area_School_District_v....Edit2: Looks like HN can't handle URLs that end with a period.
