Key takeaway The club was among more than 70 "noncurriculum based" clubs at the school that are initiated and led by students.
Why this matters in The Miami
The Supreme Court's decision to turn away the free speech case involving the Indiana high school's "Defund Planned Parenthood" posters has implications for student-led groups in Miami's own schools. Miami-Dade County Public Schools, like the school in question, has policies in place regarding student expression and the approval of flyers and posters. The fact that the Supreme Court declined to hear the case leaves intact the lower court's decision, which sided with the school's ability to restrict certain types of expression. This could embolden local schools to enforce similar restrictions, potentially affecting student groups in neighborhoods like Little Havana and Wynwood that may want to express their views on contentious issues. As a result, student groups in Miami may face increased scrutiny when attempting to advertise their meetings or events, particularly if their messages are deemed "political" or "disruptive" by school administrators.
