Student plaintiff to appeal decision in case dealing with his view on homosexuality
According to the California School Boards Association, the student plaintiff in a case weighing a school district’s authority to attempt to ensure a supportive learning environment for all students against a student’s right to express religious condemnation of homosexuality has filed a notice that he will appeal the U.S. District Court’s recent decision granting the school district’s motion for summary judgment in the case to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Information from last week’s Legal Clips on the case, Harper v. Poway Unified School District, is available below. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court, taking note of that same ruling by the district court, vacated the Ninth Circuit’s earlier judgment in the case and remanded the case with instructions to dismiss the appeal as moot.
