Students at a Washington, D.C., public school are suing their principal and the school district over the administration's censorship of the Arab Student Union's pro-Palestinian speech, according to the federal lawsuit filed by the the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia.

The lawsuit argues that the Jackson-Reed High School students' rights were violated "because the school does not want their viewpoint—which concerns the ongoing war in Gaza and its effects on the Palestinian people—to be heard."
