• A Massachusetts middle school student challenged his town’s school board after he was sent home  school for wearing a shirt emblazoned with the message, “There are only two genders.”
• Liam Morrison, 12, told the Middleborough School Council that his father had to pick him up from John T. Nichols Jr. Middle School on March 21 because he refused to change his t-shirt.
• “I never thought that the shirt I wore to school on March 21 would lead me to speak with you today,” Liam began. “On that Tuesday morning, I was taken out of gym class to sit down with two adults for what turned out to be a very uncomfortable talk. I was told that people were complaining about the words on my shirt and the shirt was making some students feel unsafe.”
