Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
SCOTUS rules Pennsylvania High School Violated Students Free Speech Rights

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.

Justice Thomas: Cheer Ruling Ignores Precedent, Leaves Confusion
Usually a staunch defender of constitutionally protected free speech, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenter in the 8-1 decision Wednesday, noting the decision to defend a cheerleader's off-campus speech...

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.
I'd whoop a mother fucker's ass or die trying.
