The free speech rights of first graders are at the center of an ongoing legal fight in California.

In a March 10 opinion, a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out a lower court’s previous ruling in favor of a school district accused of violating a student’s First Amendment rights by punishing her for a Black Lives Matter drawing. The decision sends the case back down to the district court for further legal proceedings.

A White student at Viejo Elementary School in Mission Viejo, California, identified only as B.B. in court documents, gave the drawing to an African American classmate, identified as M.C., after a class reading about the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in 2021, the court said in its opinion.

B.B. “felt bad” that “black people … were put in a worse position,” the opinion said. The drawing depicted “all her friends holding hands” along with the words “Black Lives Mater (sic) any life.”

“B.B. did not know that ‘Black Lives Matter’ had any particular meaning but included the phrase because it was at the end of the book her teacher read to the class,” the court said.

M.C.’s parent complained to Principal Jesus Becerra, saying that “while we can appreciate the sentiment of Black Lives Matter, my husband and I do not trust the place where the ‘any life’ is coming from.”.........more.........
