Female athletes spend years—even decades—of their lives training and honing their skills. They know that the difference between victory and defeat can be a single point or a tenth of a second.

Who is Liam? Liam is a 12-year-old student at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts. He was punished by the school for wearing a t-shirt that says, “There are only two genders.” Why what happened to Liam matters Students don’t forfeit their free speech when they walk into school.
