Trustee Sues Over Shirt Controversy | Las Vegas News

Clark County School Board Trustee Lorena Biassotti is preparing to sue the district after being reprimanded for wearing a shirt advocating for women’s sports during a heated board meeting — a move she says violates her First Amendment rights. The shirt, from a brand promoting gender-specific spaces, sparked controversy and drew criticism from Board President Emily Stevens, who cited policies protecting students with diverse gender expressions. Biassotti and fellow trustee Lydia Dominguez, both conservative, defended their right to free speech as elected officials, calling the reprimand political retaliation. Amid public disruptions and divided opinions, trustees largely resisted implementing a dress code, arguing it’s not the district’s priority. Biassotti plans to crowdfund legal fees to avoid burdening taxpayers, framing her stance as a defense of sincerely held beliefs that protect women and children — igniting a broader debate over free speech, gender identity, and the limits of political expression in public office.
