Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L., the case can finally live up to the hype. âThe Court made clear that schoolsâ power to limit campus speech is not unlimited,â says Jeff Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, a nonprofit. âSchools canât act like parents when disciplining off-campus speech. Students do have important First Amendment interests.â Jen Reidel, a high school civics teacher in Washington state, had been following the case closely since last fall. She teaches a law and society class to students in Bellingham, and with her school still doing remote learning, she felt she had to find an especially interesting case to capture studentsâ attention through the screen. Just any Supreme Court case wouldnât be enough to reach through those âblack tilesâ on Zoom and engage her students.
