One month after Kimberry Dee registered as a Tennessee University pharmacy student, the university's specialized behavioral committee received anonymous complaints about her posting on social media.
The university reviewed her post. It contains the lyrics and tight dresses of Racy Rap, concluding that they are vulgar and not experts. It threatened to expel her.
For the past four years, Diei has been fighting school in court. Currently, she is over the reconciliation. On Wednesday or Thursday, she hopes to receive a $ 250,000 check.
She also graduated from a university pharmacy school, is now a pharmacist in Walgreen in Memphis, and his sexuality is his assets.
“Viagra, it's a very big seller,” she said with a laugh. “Sexual lubricants, condoms, all of them, I can't say that someone asks me about sexual products, but it's quite frequent within the age.”
Her lawsuit on the university submitted in February 2021 tested the boundary of free expressions of students in social media. With the advice of a lawyer who has the basics of the individual rights and expression of the free remarks group, Deal challenged her to punish her for her university authority on her own time. 。 As a student. The lawsuit argued that public universities violated the constitutional rights of free expressions “without legitimate educational reasons.”
About a month before she sued, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of a high school cheerleader in Pennsylvania. The Supreme Court ruled that the court should be skeptical of the school effort to punish the speech outside of the student campus, and made an advantage in her.
Deal's complaint was initially rejected by the district court she submitted. She appealed, and the appeal court found that her speech was “clearly protected by Article 1 of Amendment” in September last year, and permits the case to move forward.
Melissa Tindel, a university spokeswoman, not commented on legal issues in accordance with general practices.
Dii acknowledges that she is an unlikely poster child for her freedom of expression. “I didn't have a strong interest in politics,” she said in an interview.
Nevertheless, she did not doubt that she was doing the right thing by refusing backdown.
“I knew what was going on was unfair,” she said. “Personally, I didn't feel ashamed, but I didn't thank them for the fact that they wanted me to be ashamed.”
She recently said that she was too busy to post to social media, when she had a stagnant followers on Instagram, and she was in trouble.
She doesn't know what she will do with her settlement: her student loan, probably, or in the stock market. But she wants to take a vacation. “Somewhere in the tropical, I have Pinya Corada in my hands,” she said. “That's where I see myself in the near future.”
