First Amendment and Student Speech

Former Oregon high school athletes Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard agreed with the Oregon School Activities Association to dismiss their federal free‑speech lawsuit on Tuesday after they stepped off a state medal podium in May to protest a transgender competitor and alleged retaliation over medals and photos. A separate Title IX lawsuit remains pending, and last month U.S. District Judge Youlee Yim You denied OSAA’s motion to strike portions of the complaint referencing other political speech the league permits.
