A student at a Massachusetts middle school has filed a lawsuit against his school district and principal after he was sent home from class for wearing a T-shirt affirming two genders: male and female.
Liam Morrison, who is represented by attorneys from the conservative legal group the Alliance Defending Freedom, filed a lawsuit in federal court Wednesday alleging that Middleborough Public Schools and Nichols Middle School had violated his right to freedom of speech when his school principal Heather Tucker sent him home from school for refusing to remove his T-shirt reading:"There are only two genders.
"That doesn't make a lot of sense," the seventh grader said."By that logic, every time someone has a disagreement, they would also be sent home." Tyson Langhofer, an attorney for the Alliance Defending Freedom, told the Washington Examiner that after Morrison was sent home, his parents initially asked the school superintendent if their son could wear his shirt to school. After the request was denied, an attorney letter made a similar request, which was similarly turned down.
