Middle-Schooler Sent Home For Wearing Shirt With These Five Words On It...

A 12-year-old middle school student was allegedly sent home for wearing a T-shirt that told the truth that school officials didn’t like.

What did his shirt allegedly say?

“There are only two genders.”

It’s a simple fact that the school apparently wouldn’t tolerate.

Liam Morrison, a Massachusetts seventh-grader, allegedly refused to change his shirt.

According to reports, Morrison’s shirt made others feel “unsafe.”

Morrison spoke to the school board about the incident on April 13th.

Fox News shared the details:

Liam Morrison, a seventh-grader at Nichols Middle School in Middleborough, Massachusetts, said he was taken out of gym class on March 21 and met with school staff who told him people were complaining about the statement on his shirt and that it made them feel “unsafe.” His comments were picked up by popular Twitter account LibsofTikTok.

“Yes, words on a shirt made people feel unsafe. They told me that I wasn’t in trouble, but it sure felt like I was. I was told that I would need to remove my shirt before I could return to class. When I nicely told them that I didn’t want to do that, they called my father,” he explained during a Middleborough School Committee meeting on April 13.

“Thankfully, my dad, supportive of my decisions, came to pick me up. What did my shirt say? Five simple words: There are only two genders. Nothing harmful. Nothing threatening. Just a statement I believe to be a fact,” he said.

Morrison added that he was told his shirt was “targeting a protected class” and was a “disruption to learning.” “Who is this protected class? Are their feelings more important than my rights?” he asked. “I don’t complain when I see Pride flags and diversity posters hung throughout the school. Do you know why? Because others have a right to their beliefs, just as I do,” he said.

“I was told that the shirt was a disruption to learning. No one got up and stormed out of class. No one burst into tears. I’m sure I would have noticed if they had. I experience disruptions to my learning every day. Kids acting out in class are a disruption, yet nothing is done. Why do the rules apply to one yet not another?”

What an epic lesson on the 1st Amendment and freedom of speech!

At 12 years old, Liam Morrison knows more about inalienable rights than the teachers at his school.

As Fox News mentioned, Libs of TikTok shared his speech to the school board.
