The Supreme Court will review this cheerleader's case and consider the authority of public school officials to discipline students for what they say outside of school.

When cheerleader Brandi Levy posted a Snapchat of herself giving the middle digit salute with a profanity-laced caption, she likely never thought she'd become the center of a Supreme Court fight.

On Wednesday, however, the nine justices will review her case and consider the authority of public school officials to discipline students for what they say outside of school. The dispute in the age of social media and amid the complexities of Covid-remote learning environments could shape the free speech rights of millions of young students across the country when they speak off campus. "F--k school f--k softball f--k cheer f--k everything" Levy, then 14, wrote in 2017.
