* Of note is that Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenting vote. Have not read his dissent, looking for it.

Gotta agree with the 8 here.

The school can't hold to her to standards even when she isn't at school, on school grounds, or at a school function.

It's big for employees as well because anyone who has a contract, that isn't at will, get protections under this.

I disagree with Thomas. This decision protects students from being kicked out of colleges by the fake woke mobs because they didn’t like a tweet on personal time and not representing the school. I think his position would have caused a lot of issues for conservatives in school. Maybe I’m wrong.

Im with you on this one. I really like Thomas and usually agree with his opinions, but not on the same page as him here.

Yeah everyone here knows I love me some BDCT but I agree with you that I just don't see it here.

If anything schools have WAY to much influence and say over student's lives.

Seems like that decision could give all those who have been terminated for things they have said on FB or elsewhere some recourse. Countless people have lost jobs for things said after work hours on their personal FB or other accounts.

Amen

I think Thomas is an old school, hard core disciplarian type that doesn’t enjoy seeing the cultural rot of our youth. The fact that a teenage girl is tweeting out profanities is probably disgusting to him. I get it. But at the same time, I agree with the sentiment here.

Im trying to find out if a story is true that a NY school put a kid in a broom closet because he didn't want to stand or kneel for blm or some such shit. I've heard this repeated twice on Youtube but haven't actually seen an article for the story or quote from the parent.
