The Supreme Court grappled on Wednesday with the First Amendment claims of a former high school cheerleader who argued that she could not be punished by her school for posting a profanity-laced caption on Snapchat when she was off school grounds.The justices at times seemed sympathetic to the plight of the cheerleader in the case at hand, but searched for a workable standard — especially in the age of social media — that could shape the free speech rights of some 50 million public school children while also allow the schools to step in for speech that occurs off campus or online that could amount to a substantial disruption of the school's mission or an example of bullying or a threat. "F--- school f--- softball f--- cheer f--- everything" Brandi Levy, then 14, wrote in 2017. She was reacting to the fact that as a junior varsity cheerleader she had failed to get a spot on the varsity squad at Mahanoy Area High School in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania.When school officials learned of the outburst, Levy was suspended from the JV team for having violated school rules. But her lawyers sued, alleging the school had violated her freedom of speech. Levy…

WASHINGTON — A wary Supreme Court on Wednesday weighed whether public schools can discipline students for things they say off campus, worrying about overly restricting speech on the one hand and leaving educators powerless to deal with bullying on the other. The justices, hearing arguments in the case of a 14-year-old high school freshman’s Snapchat F-bombs, struggled to fit the need to protect students’ political and religious expression with the ability of schools to get at disruptive, even potentially dangerous, speech that occurs outside the school setting. In one of many examples members of the court offered, Justice Elena Kagan described boys who keep a sexually charged online ranking of girls based on their looks. “You can’t put people in jail for commenting on people’s appearance, but shouldn’t a school be able to deal with it?” Kagan asked. The court tested out possible outcomes in the case of the student’s profanity-laced social media rant , which Justice Brett Kavanaugh described as her blowing off steam just like “millions of kids” do. Kavanaugh is one of several justices who have children in high school, or recently did. The court heard just under two hours of arguments by telephone because of the…
