We are delighted to share the Ninth Circuitβs opinion released today in π΅.π΅. π£. πΆππππ π‘ππππ πππππππ ππβπππ π·ππ π‘ππππ‘.
Those who have been following our work over the past few years will know that we had the privilege of representing the student plaintiff, B.B., in the district court.

The court held today that elementary school students cannot be stripped of their First Amendment rights simply because of their young age. Applying ππππππ π£. π·ππ ππππππ , the Ninth Circuit vacated the district courtβs grant of summary judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings.
It is a powerful decision vindicating the constitutional rights of students everywhere, and we are thrilled to see this result for B.B.
