Friend:
A Massachusetts school has censored a seventh grader for
wearing a shirt that expresses biological truth.
Throughout the entire nation, a debate is raging on the very
nature of what it means to be human. What makes a person a man? A
woman?
Our Constitution guarantees freedom of thought-the freedom to
share your beliefs.
Twelve-year-old Liam Morrison's school has decided that debate
is out-and government orthodoxy is in.
Liam, a 12-year-old student at Nichols Middle School in
Middleborough, Massachusetts, quietly observed how the school
proclaimed loudly that a person's feelings, not their biology,
determines their sex and gender.
Liam holds different beliefs. Informed by a scientific
understanding of biology (and backed by millennia of human
history), he believes that there only two sexes (male and female)
and that a person's gender is inseparable from their sex.
So, one day Liam wore a shirt to school that says, "There are
only two genders."
The principal of the school, along with a school counselor,
pulled Liam out of class and ordered him to remove his shirt or
go home. Liam politely declined and was sent home.
Public school officials cannot censor a 7th grader's speech by
forcing him to remove a shirt that states scientific fact. This
is a gross violation of the First Amendment.
Please stand with this brave 7th grader as he challenges his
school's violation of free speech. Sign our pledge to show that
Liam isn't the only one who is standing up for these truths.

"They completely took away my ability to have a different
opinion than they wanted me to have," Liam says.
This case isn't just about a shirt.
It's about a public school telling Liam-and thereby all
other students-that he can't wear a shirt with a message that's
important to him unless it's the same opinion as the
government's.
It's about a public school trying to force a student to
forfeit his free speech when he walks into the school building.
It's about a public school imposing its view on
students-and censoring students who disagree.
"The school is talking about this issue all the time," ADF
Senior Counsel Tyson Langhofer, who is defending Liam, says, "and
all Liam wanted to do was express his opinion, which is actually
shared by a lot of his classmates."
After the school punished Liam for wearing the shirt, he wore
another shirt to protest the school's censorship that said:
"There are censored genders."
Again, the school told him to take off the shirt. That's when
Liam and his family decided to ask Alliance Defending Freedom and
the Massachusetts Family Institute to take legal action.
Sign the Pledge
"I don't complain when I see pride flags and diversity posters
hung throughout the school," Liam told a meeting of the
Middleboro School Committee in April, after he was punished the
first time. "Others have a right to their beliefs just like I
do."
The First Amendment protects people of all beliefs, especially
people that disagree with the government. If you only have
freedom to agree with those in power, you don't have freedom at
all.
Across the nation, government officials are trying to silence
views that differ from radical gender ideology. And it's falling
to brave 12-year-olds like Liam to stand in opposition and not
affirm lies when school officials, who should be modeling
adulthood, have failed students.
Will you join Liam today?

P.S. Liam isn't the first student to be censored-and he won't
be the last. Stand with him today and send a message that
government censorship cannot be allowed.
