In Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L. it was 8-1. Not even close. The court’s opinion was by Justice Stephen Breyer. Thomas dissented. Seriously dude. How did you get here? Don't you know that
from the student speaker’s perspective, regulations of off-campus speech, when coupled with regulations of on-campus speech, include all the speech a student utters during the full 24-hour day.
Give me a frickin' break.

Held: While public schools may have a special interest in regulating some off-campus student speech, the special interests offered by the school are not sufficient to overcome B.L.’s interest in free expression in this case. Pp. 4–11.
(a) In Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist., 393 U. S. 503, we indicated that schools have a special interest in regulating on-campus student speech that “materially disrupts class-work or involves substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of others.” 393 U. S., at 513. The special characteristics that give schools additional license to regulate student speech do not always disappear when that speech takes place off campus. Circumstances that may implicate a school’s regulatory interests include serious or severe bullying or harassment targeting particular individuals; threats aimed at teachers or other students; the failure to follow rules concerning lessons, the writing of papers, the use of computers, or participation in other online school activities; and breaches of school security devices. Pp. 4–6.

(b) But you're still grounded.



My bold. They don't need to bold.
