HAYNES, Circuit Judge,
dissenting in part:
I respectfully dissent from the portion of the majority opinion affirming the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the School Board on Bell’s claim.1 I conclude that the majority opinion greatly and unnecessarily expands Tinker to the' detriment of Bell’s First Amendment rights. I would reverse the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the School Board and remand for further proceedings on those matters for substantially the same reasons set forth in Section III of the original panel majority opinion. See Bell, 774 F.3d at 290-303.

. Credibility and inferences matter here, so I would not reverse the denial of Bell’s summary judgment motion.
