    In 2021, a 7-year-old girl named B.B. at Viejo Elementary School in Orange County, California, drew a picture for a friend after a lesson on Martin Luther King Jr. and “Black Lives Matter.”

    The drawing included the phrases “Black lives mater” and “Any life” with four ovals representing friends.

    The friend’s mother complained to the school, leading the principal to deem the drawing “racist” and punish B.B. by making her apologize.

    The case is now before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, with the Pacific Legal Foundation arguing it violates B.B.'s free speech rights1 2 .
