Kegerreis v. United States of America, No.Civ.A.03-2232-KHV (D. Kan. Oct. 9, 2003)
A federal district court in October dismissed the lawsuit of a Kansas special education teacher who had sued the U.S. government claiming that the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was unconstitutional. Brian Kegerreis filed his challenge to NCLB pro se, claiming that NCLB is unfair and unconstitutional because it seeks to hold only school personnel accountable if students at a particular school do not achieve satisfactory test scores. He argued that the standards set forth in the act cannot be met and will unfairly penalize him and his fellow teachers. The district court granted the federal government’s motion to dismiss, ruling that Mr. Kegerreis’s alleged injuries were hypothetical and that he had failed to articulate a violation of constitutional rights.
