The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Tuesday to hear both a student's challenge to a Massachusetts public school's decision to bar him from wearing a T-shirt reading "There are only two genders" and a Native American group's bid to block two companies from gaining control of Arizona land needed to build one of the world's largest copper mines.
In the T-shirt case, the justices turned away an appeal by the student, who was 12 at the time of the 2023 incident, of a lower court's ruling upholding the ban as a reasonable restriction and rejecting his claim that the school's action violated the U.S. Constitution's protections against government abridgment of speech. The school banned the shirt due to concern about the message's effect on transgender and other pupils.
In the mining case, the justices declined to hear an appeal by Apache Stronghold, an advocacy group composed of Arizona's San Carlos Apache tribe and conservationists, of a lower court's ruling that allowed the federal government to swap acreage with Rio Tinto and BHP for their Resolution Copper project. The plaintiffs said the deal violated constitutional and statutory protections for religious rights because it would destroy a religiously important site.
