Attorneys for Liam Morrison, now in eighth grade, say they are reviewing all legal options and may appeal the federal court's decision.

The First Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a Massachusetts middle school’s decision to ask a student to remove his 'There are only two genders' T-shirt last year. The federal appeals court issued its decision on Sunday, denying eighth grader Liam Morrison’s appeal that Nichols Middle School in Middleborough violated his First Amendment rights in March 2023. The ruling upheld an earlier District Court decision.

In an interview with Fox News Digital last year, Morrison stressed that his T-shirt was not directed toward anyone, specifically people who are 'lesbian or gay or transgender or anything like that.' 'I'm just voicing my opinion about a statement that I believe to be true,' he said at the time. 'And I feel like some people may think that I'm imposing hate speech, even though it's not directed towards anyone.

Cortman said that they are reviewing all legal options, including appealing the federal circuit court’s decision.
