"Supreme Court Declines to Hear Nicholas Sandmann 'Cancel Culture' Case"
The Supreme Court declined to hear the case of Nicholas Sandmann, a former Kentucky high school student who claimed to be a victim of "cancel culture" after a viral video showed him in a standoff with a Native American man. Sandmann had filed a massive libel lawsuit against media organizations for their coverage of the incident, but lower courts dismissed the case. The video, which sparked controversy in 2019, showed Sandmann wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat while standing nose-to-nose with the Native American drum-beater. Sandmann's lawyer argued that the media's "careless failure" to investigate the encounter led to his client becoming a target for anger and hatred.
