Student Suspended for Memes Targeting Principal Files First Amendment Suit

A Tennessee high school student who was suspended after posting three memes last year to Instagram making fun of his principal’s “overly serious demeanor” is suing Tullahoma City Schools. He alleges that then-Principal Jason Quick and Assistant Principal Derrick Crutchfield violated his free speech rights by punishing him for social media posts he published off campus.
