A Massachusetts middle school student petitioned the Supreme Court on Wednesday after his school barred him from wearing T-shirts that expressed his views on gender.

In 2023, Liam Morrison, a seventh grader at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough at the time, wore a shirt to class that read “There are only two genders” after the school encouraged discussions about gender identity, which included promoting students to wear LGBT-themed clothing. School officials asked Morrison to stop wearing his shirt to class because it was offensive to certain students. He refused and was forced to miss class, prompting a costly legal battle for him and his family.
