The Supreme Court refused to hear a Massachusetts student's challenge to his middle school's ban on his "two genders" T-shirt. The student, Liam Morrison, argued the school's action violated his First Amendment rights. Justices Thomas and Alito dissented, highlighting the importance of the free speech issue for students. Lower courts sided with the school, citing a dress code prohibiting hate speech and the potential for disruption. The case raises questions about free speech limitations in schools and follows a similar case in Maryland regarding LGBT-focused books.
