Tennessee High School Student Files Lawsuit After Being Suspended for Posting Memes of the Principal
A Tennessee high school student has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against their school district after being suspended for posting memes of the principal during non-school hours.
The 17-year-old senior, identified only as “I.P.” in court filings, is suing Tullahoma City Schools.
Last August, the student was called to the office for making memes of Tullahoma High School Principal Jason Quick and posting them to their Instagram account over summer break and at their home after the second day of school.
The images feature the principal holding a box of vegetables, dressed as an anime cat girl, and with a cartoon bird from the “Regular Show” clinging to his leg.
Ultimately, the student was suspended for three days.
