One day, a public high school student named Brandon wears to school a homemade T$-$shirt that reads, "Joe Biden Is an Idiot." It also has a digitally manipulated picture of President Joe Biden wearing a dunce cap on his head. A few kids react to the T$-$shirt with laughter, while others tell Brandon that they believe "Biden rocks, dude!" School administrators object to the T$-$shirt, finding it offensive and degrading to President Biden and they order Brandon either to wear another T$-$shirt or to wear the anti$-$Biden T$-$shirt turned inside out so that the message and image are not visible. Brandon refuses to do so$,$ and he is suspended from attending school for ten days. Brandon, then, turns around and sues the school for violating his First Amendment right of free speech. As a judge, you must consider whether or not Brandon's First Amendment right of free speech has been violated.

a$.$ Tinker v$.$ Des Moines $($in the book$)$ is very similar to Brandon's case. Use the relevant facts to explain and demonstrate why they are similar $($list them$).$

b$.$ Applying the rule or test that you identified in question a$,$ is Brandon likely to prevail against the school? Provide reasons.
