School doesn't have free speech rights to say this kid can play whatever sport they want? Hmm....

Republican state legislatures are trying to ban companies from not doing business with other companies over their public stances (ie: pulling advertising from Twitter because of the obvious). They only care about free hate speech.

When i was 12 i was the only boy who played volleyball. The teams we played were all girls as well and no one cared. I only played volleyball because i didn't like soccer and i didn't like the guys who played basketball. I mean mainly because of all the girls, but that's not what i told them

The right wing concept of "free speech" is "I can say whatever I want and you can't say anything about it."
