NOTE: This episode contains some profanity. Listener discretion is advised. 

In May 2017, a high school cheerleader took to Snapchat to vent about her cheerleading squad. Her profanity-laced message soon made its way around the school, resulting in a suspension from the team. 

What followed is a civil court case that made its way all the way up to The US Supreme Court. 

This episode was researched by Nicole Gusmerotti, written by Nick Keppler and Matt Stroud, and edited and narrated by Jillian Jalali.
