Michigan Students Sue School District for Banning 'Let's Go Brandon' Apparel

Two students in Michigan are suing their school district for violating their First Amendment rights by asking them to remove sweatshirts with the slogan "Let's go Brandon" on them. The phrase is understood to be code for swearing at President Biden. The lawsuit claims that the school censored the students' "peaceful, non-disruptive politics" by having them take off the sweatshirts, causing them "to suffer irreparable injury." The suit is seeking a court order striking down the school district's "viewpoint-discriminatory ban on 'Let's go Brandon' apparel" and a declaration from the court that the policy violates the First Amendment, in addition to damages and attorney's fees.
