Question

what was the main point of the dissenting opinion?
○ the speech used by the student considered \hate speech\ and therefore was not protected.
○ the speech used by the student degraded the cheer team and coach and therefore was not protected.
○ the speech was allowed, but the students crude gesture in the picture was not protected.
○ the speech used by the student directly threatened the cheer team and coach and therefore was not protected.

Explanation:

This question refers to the dissenting opinion in the Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L. case, where the dissenting justices argued that the student's off-campus speech degraded the cheer team and coach, falling outside protected student speech under the First Amendment as it disrupted the school environment.

Answer:

The speech used by the student degraded the cheer team and coach and therefore was not protected.
