SCOTUS sides with cheerleader who mocked her school

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Actually surprised by the sole dissent. Alito tends to be more anti-First Amendment than Thomas. Thomas was actually kind of non-terrible on free speech issues back when his buddy Scalia was still around because Scalia was in fact actually pretty good on free speech issued but without his guidance Thomas has just gone off the deep end apparently.

good news!

I wonder how Biden is taking this loss.

Probably fine because the decision doesn't impact the ability of schools to handle things like e-bullying which was the main concern in regards to the case. The decision basically says that schools have to meet a pretty strict criteria to discipline off-campus behavior, but not that it can't be done at all.

Explain further why Biden sided with the school.

Because without any further context, it looks like "Joe Biden hates students having freedom of speech".

The Biden Administration expressed concerns that a broad decision against the school could limit the ability of schools to discipline for things like e-bullying that happened off grounds. It was more concern over precedent than this specific case.

Also I doubt Biden himself thought much about the case. He's taking a somewhat hands off approach to the Department of Justice.
