@OGNadales Absolutely. #Tinker is the cornerstone of student speech in schools. The #Fraser analysis may change if SCOTUS gets this case but I doubt any court will stray such that school officials cannot regulate speech when thier is a “substantial & material disruption”.

[Tennessee Education Law @TNEdLaw]

@MLive If it makes it to SCOTUS it will be interesting to see whether they side with the majorities #Fraser viewpoint or the dissents #Tinker. Until then check out what that means for schools in the 6th Circuit including TN.

Can schools ban “Let’s Go Brandon” shirts?
The 6th Circuit says YES.

Tennessee schools: enforce neutrally, document clearly.

TN teachers can face consequences for actions occurring after hours.

If a district takes such action they need to be consistent.

I assume Hamilton County has done so.

@EducationLaw @Butler_Snow Absolutely. Important ruling in 6th Circuit demonstrates such.

@usedgov AI is an incredible tool for both students and teachers. The later must be careful to use it as a tool not a crutch. They have the same duty to relay that message to students.

Tattoos = student speech. 🎓🖋️ Schools can’t ban them outright—only limit when they truly disrupt learning. Here’s what the law says.
