When president Donald Trump Said in his inaugural speech: “There are only two sexes,” Massachusetts -Teenager Liam Morrison made it very happy, in the hope that it would help him in his legal struggle against his Middleborough School District, since the Supreme Court is considering his business to take.
In his inaugural speech, Trump against “government policy to try to develop race and gender socially in every aspect of public and private life”. And then added: “From today it will now be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two sexes, male and female.”
Federal higher court rules against high school students who wore ‘only two sexes’ shirts
Those are the exact words that Morrison wore two years ago on a T-shirt, so he was thrown out of school.

He told Fox this week: “I feel that we definitely have a bit of a boost.”
Morrison, who is now 14 and a first-year student in high school, was 12 years old when he was wearing a T-shirt at school that said daring letters: “There are only two sexes.” The director accused him of disturbing his Middleborough Middle School and of the humiliating LGBTQ students. He was also exiled to bear the replacement with the text: “There are censored sexes.”
His lawyer, Tyson Langhofer, senior adviser at Alliance Defending Freedom, says that this is a matter of freedom of expression that Liam expressed his beliefs about gender, while the school encouraged students to proudly celebrate the same way.
“My client was punished because he felt like his shirt at a public school when he responded to the message of the school of a completely different perspective on sex,” Langehofer said.

Trump also doubled his words Sign an executive order The federal government demand that he prohibits only two sexes, male and female and transgender service members.
In a statement to Fox, the legal department of the LGBTQ+ Advocacy Group Glaad said: “Every student has the right to go to the public school without fear of bullying and intimidation, and nothing changes in the executive order. As the Supreme Court has recognized , Public school officials have both the authority and the obligation to offer a safe learning environment for all students, what the school has done in this case. “
But Langhofer says that this case is precedent.

“It really comes down to the question of whether the government has the right to punish a seventh grade for simply expressing a point of view that was different from what the school expressed,” Langehofer said. “And we think that that law has been clearly established.”

“I hope … that this will be seen as not only a fight against a job, but also as a sign for people to talk about their own beliefs and also a recognition of trying to say that a biological fact is not it Is just absurd and people are willing to fight for it, “said Liam.
In a few weeks, the American Supreme Court will decide whether Liam’s case will be included. Langhofer said it is not clear what effect the executive order of Trump will have, and that the case ultimately is based on the weight of The first amendment.
