Michigan Students Sue District for Banning Let's Go Brandon Apparel Critical of President Biden

  • Two students filed a lawsuit claiming their school district violated their free speech rights by prohibiting them from wearing Let's Go Brandon sweatshirts critical of President Biden.
  • The lawsuit argues the school district engaged in viewpoint discrimination by banning the apparel under a policy prohibiting profane or disruptive messages.
  • Let's Go Brandon became code for profane chants critical of President Biden after a TV reporter mistook crowd chants of "F*** Joe Biden" for "Let's Go Brandon."
  • The students are seeking a court order blocking the ban and damages over the claimed free speech violation.
  • The case is the latest flashpoint in debates over student speech and criticism of political leaders in schools.
