You wouldn’t think a cheerleader not making varsity squad would end up being the origin of a case being argued before the Supreme Court, but here we are. It’s actually a very fascinating case out of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. It involves big issues like free speech and how much influence and power school districts have on what students can say.
