Are there only two genders?
Who is Liam?
Then a 12-year-old student at Nichols Middle School 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 7th grader that he can’t say something that’s important to him. That’s not freedom.
The School’s Actions are Illegal
All students have the constitutional right to exercise their free speech without having to fear being punished by school officials. They can’t be forced out of the schoolhouse 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. And you can stand with Liam, too.
Liam’s recently suffered a loss in a federal court of appeals, but we plan to appeal the case. We’ll be with Liam for as long as it takes to secure his—and all students’—right to free speech.
Send a strong message: “We the people stand with Liam Morrison. We stand behind the truth that there are only two genders. Every American has the right to speak freely—that right is given by God and protected by the U.S. Constitution.”
