Liam Morrison, wearing the evil shirt that he wore the
second time teachers at Nichols Middle School sent
him home.

The Supreme Court today declined by a vote of 7-2 to hear the case of Liam Morrison, who as a 12-year-old was sent home from Nichols Middle School in Massachusetts because he wore a T-shirt that said “There are only two genders.” Later he came to school wearing the shirt in the picture to the right, and was sent home again.

Morrison and his parents sued, noting in their complaint that since the 1960s the courts have consistently ruled that students have free speech rights. However, in almost all those earlier cases the students were expressing views supportive of leftist causes, so of course their first amendment rights were aggressively protected by the courts.

Because Liam Morrison was taking a conservative rightwing position, however, the court now believes students like him are too young to have first amendment rights, and so of course he has been effectively silenced in school, permanently.

This case illustrates something that all freedom-loving Americans had better recognize. Just because Trump is shutting down whole agencies, firing hundreds of thousands of leftist government workers, denying federal funds to indoctrination universities like Harvard, we should not assume that all will be well in just a few years.

No, not a chance. The fight for freedom is never-ending, even when a large majority of the population agrees with the principles as set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Unfortunately however we no longer live in such a country. Right now a very large plurality of Americans no longer believe in free speech and the Bill of Rights, and are quite willing to throw out the Constitution so that their side can be in power for all time.

The Supreme Court decision in this case today proves this point. Despite having six of its nine justices appointed by Republicans, that court has shown itself to be unwilling to stand firm for some basic very obvious Constitutional issues. For example, it has waffled on stopping the overreach by lower courts that has clearly violated the president’s powers under the Constitution while expanding the courts’ powers based on no Constitutional language.

Now it has waffled on the first amendment rights of students. Apparently there are enough judges in the Supreme Court willing to squelch free speech if it conflicts with their political positions, and so free speech no longer exists in America for conservative students.

Similarly, all those fired government workers who have been aggressively supporting the Democratic Party’s radical leftist and Marxist agendas for years are not going to disappear merely because Trump fired them. Nor are the universities like Harvard going to vanish. They will instead organize among themselves with the sole goal of regaining power, and if Americans don’t recognize this effort they are going to be blind-sided when these people win the next election. And when they do, you can be sure that their oppressive actions since 2020 will seem mild in comparison to what they will do once in power again.

The fight for freedom has hardly begun. Trump’s election was a small win in one battle. The war however is hardly over, and in fact, it appears it has only just begun.
