Public figure profile
The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal on a high-profile case over a slogan worn on student sweatshirts, leaving a lower-court ruling in place that allowed a middle school to ban the phrase Let’s Go Brandon as vulgar speech. The case centers on a U.S. school district that banned the shirts, arguing the political message is outweighed by vulgarity in a school setting. The decision touches on limits of political expression in schools as well as how vulgarity is defined in youth apparel.
