Your gift will defend brave kids like Liam!

Who is Liam?

As a middle-school student in Middleborough, Massachusetts, Liam 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. It’s not just about a shirt—it’s about government officials telling a middle-schooler that he can’t say something that’s important to him just because they disapprove of what he said. That’s not freedom.

If the government can censor Liam, it can censor any student about any subject.

The school’s actions are illegal

All students have the constitutional right to express their free speech without having to fear being punished by school officials. They can’t be forced out of the classroom for exercising their rights.

That’s why Alliance Defending Freedom and the Massachusetts Family Institute are suing the Town of Middleborough and school officials in federal court on his behalf.

But we need your help. As a non-profit, we never charge our clients a dime to represent them in court. That means in order to take on cases like Liam’s, we rely on support from Americans like you.
