Tennessee student's suspension over memes rescinded after org files First Amendment lawsuit
Fox News
A Tennessee high school revoked a student's suspension over memes and reversed its policies on speech after FIRE filed a lawsuit citing free speech violations.
In response to the lawsuit, Tullahoma High School also walked back its handbook policies barring "embarrassing" social media photos and posts "unbecoming of a Wildcat [the school's mascot]." Taylor Penley is an associate editor with Fox News.
"We’re glad that the school has taken these corrective actions, but the fight isn’t over," FIRE attorney Connor Fitzpatrick said in the press release. "We won’t rest until the student’s constitutional rights are fully vindicated and the district removes this suspension, and these vague policies, for good."
