Avery Doninger v. Lewis S. Mills High School

In 2011, Avery Doninger, former class secretary of Lewis S. Mills High School, became upset with a couple of school staff and sent a message online referring to the staff as "douchebags." Consequently, Principal Karissa Niehoff prohibited Doninger from running for re-election for student office. Students were also not allowed to wear "TEAM AVERY" shirts. The issue that arose in court was free-speech and whether or not they could wear the shirts.
