Jonathan Turley: Supreme Court sides with cheerleader -- 8-1 ruling a great victory for free speech
Fox News
Brandi Levy, the cheerleader in Mahonoy v. B.L, was denied the right to swear a blue streak after being rejected for the varsity squad at her high school.
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday 8-1 in her favor and, while she remains silent Levy most likely had a fittingly spicy way of acknowledging her major win for free speech. In some respects, science was as much on the former high school student’s side as the law. Studies have shown that swearing is not only a sign of intelligence but helps alleviate pain. If so, Levy healed herself with a profane response after being told that she would not make the varsity cheerleading squad. She and a friend vented at the Cocoa Hut, a local convenience store on Snapchat with a photo showing them with middle fingers raised with the caption: "F**k school f**k softball f**k cheer f**k everything." Despite her later apology, the school suspended her from cheerleading for a year.
