This article uses language that imposes a personal viewpoint on the facts under discussion.

For instance: ". . . filed a lawsuit against the school on his behalf along with another . . . student whose speech had been similarly stifled . . ."

And again, here: " . . . whose right to freedom of speech have been suppressed . . . "

The case in question, which has not yet been decided, is intended to determine whether or not the plaintiff's freedom of speech was infringed upon. The article as written falsely implies that a legal decision has been reached in the plaintiff's favor, when the case has not even been heard yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavidLeeHolcomb (talkcontribs)

All sources describing the case stated that the student's rights were infringed by the original speech rules the schools had, but when those were changed, in addition to his graduation, those claims were rendered moot. It is a question of whether the student should be awarded nominal damages to validate that his rights had been violated originally. --Masem (t) 14:43, 12 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
