Plaintiff contends that, before authorizing the interim suspension, Fore was presented with both the Snapchat message and the Instagram video.
The Instagram video does not change that conclusion.
Accordingly, Defendants have not shown that the true-threat doctrine removed Lemoine's speech from First Amendment protection…..
Lemoine's Snapchat message concerned a nonstudent and off-campus personal matter.
Accordingly, the Court concludes that Lemoine's Snapchat message and Instagram video were protected speech.
