A 17-year-old Tennessee student, claims he was suspended for creating memes targeting the former principal, Jason Quick. The student is taking legal action against the school district and two faculty members for alleged violations of his free speech rights. This is because all of the memes in question were shared off-campus on his personal Instagram account. The lawsuit argues that unless off-campus expression disrupts the school, the school has no authority to regulate students' speech. The student seeks unspecified monetary damages and requests that the suspension be removed from his record. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a free-speech advocacy group, supports the student's claims. The lawsuit also alleges that Quick intended to cause emotional distress to deter the student from satirizing him in the future.
