There is also a key difference in what the student did. She didn’t specifically mention individuals or the school by name. To the hypothetical above - she didnt cuss out the coach, teammates or the school. She vented frustration in a non-specific way. So the idea that a kid can blast a coaches play calls with no punishment is not an apples to apples. I think a more accurate hypothetical would be - you lose a game and you have a kid make a video that says “We need to run the f*cking ball”. And then you suspend the kid off the team for 365 days. Not sure that is right, or at least it is slicing it thin. She said "F--k school f--k softball f--k cheer f--k everything.” On the other hand, as one of the Justices said at argument, if using swear words off campus can be punished (including by suspending you from the team), then schools/teams would be doing nothing but punishing. You are more qualified then me, so I am not arguing - just sharing the interpretation I heard from other people more qualified then myself. It emphasized that she said “F school, cheer ect..” which is not the same as saying “F Valley HS, F Coach Johnson, F Lisa Smith” which is a distinction between what’s protected speech and/or disruptive. So in the hypothetical above, a player blasting his coach by name on social media is not a direct comparison to what this girl did. Or atleast that’s how other people involved in educational law interpreted this based on the details.

In every SCOTUS decision, context and nuance is everything, of course. But, as I said previously, the biggest problem the school was going to have to overcome in their arguments to the Court was first, the comments were not made at school or on a school-issued device and second, this was the student's first offense for something of this nature. For the vast majority of infractions, the approach to student discipline should be tiered. So, subsequent infractions or more serious infractions should result in greater penalties than first-time offenders or minor offenses. Regarding your hypothetical scenario, my thoughts are that if a captain or a starter is publicly making statements like that, he's probably right. I am not good at my job if I have encouraged and allowed such negativity and disrespect. I would like to think that if I was in that situation, I would try and find another resolution short of a virtual death penalty, which is what the school in this case imposed on the cheerleader. Come on... if a person reacts emotionally to a loss and says F you and you are the reason they lost that person is probably right? Because kids, adults, parents, and professionals don’t make a comment in haste? Because people don’t try to protect their egos or try to find a reason whether it’s realistic or not i take player and parent comments and reflect on them always but many times it is protective and reactive not fully factual. Some truth, probably, fully right, rarely. but I guess your program has eliminated human nature fully, congrats That's not what I said. Not even close. I said if team captains or the best players are recording videos of themselves denigrating or criticizing the coaches and then posting those videos on social media, then that is a huge culture fail. Seriously...how is that even a controversial statement?

She f*cked up, the consequence should've fit the f*cking action, as a former school admin I would've made her apologize to her coaches and teammates and would've put her on a f*cking behavior contract (which is total fake bullsh*t) and had her meet with guidance to see where the f*ck she's at / return to play. She's 14? Impulse control is low. She been an issue otherwise? Grades? Etc? Might've been a bad f*cking week.
Off-campus On her Snap that people filmed and sent out Social media has changed society, and people, on all ends in all ways But young adults make mistakes (as do reglar adults) Apologize and move on. More embarrassing to go back to JV and have to be a model citizen than to win a SCOTUS case on TV.

14-year old freshmen are not human yet.
Massive overreaction by school.

Lou Holtz had a great quote about this...something like "Motivation is easy. Find the people who aren't motivated and get rid of them." I think he had another good one...something about not hiring assistant coaches if they owned golf clubs or a boat.

Yes. The school failed to meet the required legal standard. So any "punishment" should theoretically result in the Court ruling in the cheerleader's favor. With that being said, I would argue that if the school had imposed a less severe penalty or simply issued a warning, the likelihood of a lawsuit being filed would be considerably lower. I think that's the biggest reason that I agree with the Court's decision. The severity of the punishment handed down by the school left the family with no alternative other than a lawsuit. Given the 8-1 ruling, I think it is fair to say that the school district received poor counsel from their lawyers.

We preach not to do anything that makes the team look bad... for years I have wondered how I can get in trouble for music in weightroom that even when on "clean" version offends some Karen, yet now it seems like kids can say stuff that I will lose my mind over...
No use of any version of "n___" will be allowed in my program as long as I'm coaching, and if I lose my job over it... that's fine.
Don't know when having standards that teach kids to be better people and having to live up to them to be a member of a group became a bad thing, but I'm gonna keep trying to teach kids how to be better and if a community decides they don't want that, then they can fire me and let the chaos reign.

Again, I argue that based on this ruling, the speech is protected correct? It is protected from being suspended for a year, it is protected from being told to apologize to the team, it is protected from having to run an extra gasser or two. My concern is that now who will be the deciding factor how different something has to be to NOT be protected. Could this lead to off campus "cancers" suing because of playing time if indeed a coach reduces playing time because of that?

The lesson school officials should take away from this decision is that discipline should be meted out precisely and proportionately. The only one to blame for the school district's defeat is the school district officials themselves, whose heavy-handed and uncompromising punishment gave this student no recourse other than filing a lawsuit. Long story short, if I was a superintendent and found my school in a similar circumstance, the decision-making process would begin with the idea that we don't want to end up in the Supreme Court. 😆

(the cheerleader) offered to apologize after the suspension was handed down. The school district told her that they were going to impose the suspension anyway.

When people refused to help paint the wall they spray painted I just sent them a bill. For this apology one I guess you'd just say "Well that's a shame, see you later" and let them back on.

I will say this, I think school systems are ridiculously overreaching in some aspects. This case here is not even close to the most ridiculous case I have heard recently. In Jefferson Parish in Louisiana- a boy was suspended, FROM VIRTUAL ONLINE SCHOOL, because there was a bb gun visible while he was in an google meet lesson.
In that case, Louisiana's own Attorney General even joined the suit AGAINST the school district. Earlier this month the case was settled.

(And I wasn't criticizing before, just agreeing that that the case doesn't mean that *anything* that qualifies as punishment is unlawful. Also I will say that the Supreme Court generally *does* try to provide broad legal rules/guidance for future cases, but in this case they basically treated it as a fact specific example and are letting others go out and test these boundaries. Definitely an evolving and tricky area.)

I posted this earlier, but it was a long post so i imagine it got skipped over. So i will reiterate, one of the cheer coaches claimed that the students actions werent disruptive. The school board apparently intimated as such as well.
So for all hypotheticals being bandied about, for them to be apt, it would have to involve you stating to the investigators that the incident wasnt that disruptive.
So, If lil Johnny cusses you out on the sideline and calls you out as a coach, just make sure you let it be known that his actions are disruptive to the team, and you can punish

The real problem will be in the way that it will be interpreted by the amateur lawyers in school administration. Those people could screw up a two car funeral.
