Learn about a 2021 Supreme Court case involving Brandi Levy, a 14-year-old high school freshman who was punished by her school for using vulgar language in a Snapchat post after failing to make the varsity cheerleading team. The court ruled in Levy’s favor, stating that students cannot be punished for off-campus speech that does not disrupt activities.
