  • Case 3:17-Cv-01734-ARC Document 56 Filed 03/21/19 Page 1 of 21
    Case 3:17-cv-01734-ARC Document 56 Filed 03/21/19 Page 1 of 21 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA B.L., a minor, by and through her father, LAWRENCE LEVY, and her mother, NO. 3:17-CV-01734 BETTY LOU LEVY, Plaintiff, (JUDGE CAPUTO) v. MAHANOY AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT, Defendant. MEMORANDUM This case raises the question of whether a public school can lawfully remove a student from an extracurricular activity for her profanity, transmitted off school grounds on a Saturday to fellow students. Plaintiff B.L., a student at Mahanoy Area High School, was dismissed from the cheerleading squad for uttering “fuck school, fuck softball, fuck cheer, fuck everything” off school grounds on a Saturday. I hold that B.L.’s words were constitutionally protected by the First Amendment. Indeed, I granted B.L.’s motion for a preliminary injunction for this reason and suggested that holding otherwise would “allow school children to serve as Thought Police—reporting every profanity uttered—for the District.” B.L. by Levy v. Mahanoy Area Sch. Dist., 289 F. Supp. 3d 607, 613 (M.D. Pa. 2017). The District now proffers one Dr. Mussoline as an expert, and moves for summary judgment on the ground that the undisputed evidence gathered since the preliminary injunction hearing proves the District did not violate B.L.’s rights. B.L. cross-moves for summary judgment, arguing just the opposite; B.L. also moves to oust Dr. Mussoline. All three motions are presently before me. Because the undisputed evidence shows the District violated B.L.’s rights, her motion for summary judgment will be granted.

  • The Mahanoy Area School District Supreme Court Decision: Impact on Private Schools August 4, 2021
    Alert The Mahanoy Area School District Supreme Court Decision: Impact on Private Schools August 4, 2021 On June 23, 2021, the United States Supreme Court (“Court”) ruled 8-1 that a Pennsylvania public high school violated a student’s First Amendment free speech rights by disciplining her for sharing a profane critique of her school’s cheerleading team on social media. Brandi Levy, a Mahanoy Area High School student, was frustrated by her failure to make her school’s varsity cheerleading team. Outside of school hours and from an off-campus location, she transmitted vulgar language and gestures criticizing the school and its cheerleading team. Levy took a photo of herself and her friend raising their middle fingers, captioned “F*** school f*** softball f*** cheer f*** everything.” Levy posted the image to Snapchat, where it was visible to approximately 250 people, including fellow students and cheerleaders. The cheerleading coaches learned of Levy’s post and suspended her from the team for one year after deeming the posts in violation of team and school rules, which required cheerleaders to have “respect for [their] school, coaches, teachers, [and] other cheerleaders,” and to avoid “foul language and inappropriate gestures.” The public school board affirmed Levy’s suspension from the team. Levy’s parents filed suit against the public school district, alleging that Levy’s suspension from the team amounted to a violation of her First Amendment rights. A Pennsylvania federal district court found for Levy. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, ruling that Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District — a 1969 Supreme Court case holding that public schools could punish student speech that substantially disrupted the school community — did not apply to off-campus speech.

The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus MAHANOY AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT v. B. L., A MINOR, BY AND THROUGH HER FATHER, LEVY, ET AL. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT No. 20–255. Argued April 28, 2021—Decided June 23, 2021 Mahanoy Area High School student B. L. failed to make the school’s var- sity cheerleading squad. While visiting a local convenience store over the weekend, B. L. posted two images on Snapchat, a social media ap- plication for smartphones that allows users to share temporary images with selected friends. B. L.’s posts expressed frustration with the school and the school’s cheerleading squad, and one contained vulgar language and gestures. When school officials learned of the posts, they suspended B. L. from the junior varsity cheerleading squad for the up- coming year. After unsuccessfully seeking to reverse that punishment, B. L. and her parents sought relief in federal court, arguing inter alia that punishing B. L. for her speech violated the First Amendment. The District Court granted an injunction ordering the school to reinstate B. L. to the cheerleading team.

  • The First Amendment and Student Speech: Mahanoy Area School District V
    July 28, 2021 The First Amendment and Student Speech: Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L. In June 2021, the United States Supreme Court issued an 8-1 ruling in Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L. by and through Levy, 141 S.Ct. 2038 (2021), holding that the suspension by a public high school of a student from the school’s cheerleading team, after the student sent a vulgar social-media message disparaging the team while she was off campus, violated the First Amendment. In doing so, the Supreme Court held that, although public schools may have an interest in regulating student speech, this interest is diminished when the speech occurs off campus. The Court provided much-needed guidance to lower courts about how to evaluate restrictions on off-campus student speech under the First Amendment. I. Background In 2017, B.L.1 was a sophomore at Mahanoy Area High School in Pennsylvania. B.L. by Levy v. Mahanoy Area School District, 289 F. Supp. 3d 607, 610 (M.D. Penn. 2017). After she failed to make the varsity cheerleading team, B.L. posted a photo to Snapchat showing her and a friend lifting their middle fingers with the caption, “fuck school fuck softball fuck cheer fuck everything.” Id. The message was posted on a weekend while B.L. was off campus. Id. B.L. made her post available for only 24 hours and made it accessible only to B.L.’s circle of friends. However, one of the recipients took a screenshot of B.L.’s post and distributed it more widely.

  • NEW RELEASE for the Week of January 8, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now!
    NEW RELEASE for the week of January 8, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! CLEAN "Mister Pop (re-issue 2009)” (MERGE) MRG325 LP January 29 street date. David Kilgour on "Mister Pop": ""Mister Pop" began in Brooklyn, NY, at Gary Olson's Marlborough Farms studio and was completed in the basement hall of First Church Dunedin. There is more synthesizer on this album than the others, mainly an old Juno synth. I do remember having a bath in Brooklyn while Robert was downstairs singing and writing. I thought he was singing "he's a factory man", so I dried off and went down and wrote "Factory Man" while thinking heavily of The Kinks". Robert Scott on "Mister Pop": "I remember thinking at the start of the NY sessions with Gary Olson, "is this the start of a new album?". We were coming up with quite a bit of new stuff, and of course, Gary is great to work with. We carried on at Burlington St in Dunedin with (engineer and Heavy 8) Tex Houston at the controls, good fun from what I remember, lots of mucking around with keyboards and synths. We were going for that Krautrock groove and we sure got it on "Tensile", one of my faves along with the pure pop of "Dreamlife". CLEAN "Unknown Country (re-issue 1996)” (MERGE) MRG739 LP January 29 street date. David Kilgour on "Unknown Country": "The Clean always wanna try something different, but on this LP, we were obsessed with the idea. I remember we generally left vocal ideas to last, after the tracks were recorded, so we never really knew where we were headed.
