Supreme Court sides with cheerleader in 8-1 ruling

Supreme Court Rules Cheerleader's F-Bombs Are Protected By The 1st Amendment

The Supreme Court sides 8-1 with a cheerleader who went on a profanity-laden online tirade after failing to make the varsity squad.

Dissenting was Clarence Thomas, who felt that her speech should be in question due to its extra ability to harm organisations she is an active member of or is heavily associated with.

I believe the majority got it right in this situation. There are still plenty of consequences that the cheerleader can be subject to for her speech, but none of them should be sanctioned or directed by any governing body.

I agree, the school was in the wrong here, although they should be able to take her off of the cheerleading squad if she had be ON it and made similar statements

I'll bet her parents are proud.

Only losers win in the Supreme Court. It's why winners like Trump only lose in the supreme court.

As long as it goes for everybody. I wonder if it will trickle to employers.

Only if your boss is the government

This (obviously).

Also, trickle down? Lol. It's the setting of precedent, which will apply to government entities and not private employers.

NO! And it shouldn't.

 

[allvol123]

How does this compare to the Mimi Groves and Ut deal?

 

[C-south]

NO! And it shouldn't.

I don’t disagree with you but they’ve ruled on it. Now we’ll see if it’s equally applied.

But she was apart of the cheerleading program just on the JV squad correct?

She was. And as it is not compulsory, she also had the opportunity to show her displeasure by quitting.

 

[Blake25p]

True but I’m leaning in the favor of the school having the right to suspend her from the team. I don’t agree with what they did and overreacted. Definitely a tricky one.

Such reasoning might indicate that you're qualified for a seat on The Court.

Are you still mad because RBG died?

Never took you for a red hatter.

I always found it easy to side with cheerleaders.

Space showed a photo of himself with the Oregon squad...bas.....

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Why would they not be?

I don't gas about the ruling itself. I guess it is correct all things considered. I am just questioning what kind of parents find the way she reacted to being booted or whatever.. something to be proud of.. I know had I done that, my folks would have grounded me for a month and taken my phone away. Is this the future?

What makes you think the parents feel pride about the daughter's actions? Seems baselessly presumptive. Wouldn't it make more sense to assume the parents are just supporting their daughter's right to free speech?
