In 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court for the first
time addressed the online, off-campus First Amendment speech rights of public
school students in Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L. Known as the “Case
of the Cursing Cheerleader,” the Court in Mahanoy failed to create bright-line
rules regarding when schools may permissibly punish students in the digital era
for their texts, messages and posts on social media platforms. Professor
Calvert will address the Mahanoy decision and place it within the larger context
of the Court’s four prior rulings directly affecting the speech rights of public
high school and middle school students.
