Middle Schooler Wrecks School Board after Being Punished for Wearing ‘Two Genders’ T-Shirt

A 12-year-old middle schooler from Massachusetts gave a fantastic statement to his school board last month after being punished for wearing a t-shirt that said there are only two genders.

Here’s more from the New York Post:

A 12-year-old boy from Massachusetts claimed he was sent home from school a few weeks ago for wearing a t-shirt that declared that there are ‘only two genders,’ which he was told made other students feel ‘unsafe.’

Liam Morrison, a seventh grader at John T. Nichols Jr. Middle School in Middleborough, recounted the incident during a Middleborough School Committee meeting on April 13—and his fiery speech went viral Sunday after being picked up by the popular right-wing Twitter account Libs of TikTok.

Morrison said he was pulled from gym class on March 21 and met with school officials, who told him during what he described as an ‘uncomfortable talk’ that people were complaining about the message on his shirt, which they said made them feel “’unsafe.’

The boy stated:

They told me that I wasn’t in trouble, but it sure felt like I was. I was told that I would need to remove my shirt before I could return to class. When I nicely told them that I didn’t want to do that, they called my father.

The 12-year-old noted that his father was supportive of his stance and arrived at school to pick him up.

Morrison insisted that the five words printed on his shirt conveyed ‘nothing harmful, nothing threatening. Just a statement I believe to be a fact.’

Morrison said he was told the slogan on his shirt was ‘targeting a protected class’—apparently referring to transgender and nonbinary people—and was a ‘disruption to learning.’

The 12-year-old pushed back against those claims in his address to the school committee.

He asked:

Who is this protected class? Are their feelings more important than my rights? I don’t complain when I see Pride flags and diversity posters hung throughout the school. Do you know why? Because others have a right to their beliefs, just as I do.

The seventh-grader further argued that his shirt caused no disruption in the classroom.

He told his audience:

No one got up and stormed out of class. No one burst into tears. I’m sure I would have noticed if they had.

He added:

I experience disruptions to my learning every day. Kids acting out in class are a disruption, yet nothing is done. Why do the rules apply to one yet not another?

Morrison pointed out that before he was booted from the school:

[N]ot one person complained to him directly about the words on his shirt—and he said some students had even expressed their support for him.

This kid did an amazing job of articulating his right to wear the t-shirt and also the bogus claims of ‘offense’ that he was causing.

We the People would like to learn that the school board made recompense with the student, however, we don’t expect that to be the case.

After all, this is Massachusetts and these school board meetings for the most part are square fillers—completely a sham.

Well done, Liam Morrison. Very professional. Thank you for saying what We the People feel. Best wishes.
