Last year, a Michigan middle school forced two students to remove their "Let's Go Brandon" sweatshirts because they violated a dress code rule prohibiting clothing with "profane" slogans. The students have now filed a lawsuit against their school with the support of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a First Amendment nonprofit.
"These students should not only be allowed to express their political beliefs but should be encouraged to do so," said FIRE attorney Harrison Rosenthal in a Tuesday press release. "America's students must be free to exercise their constitutional rights, not just learn about them."
