Puyallup case goes to jury
April 21, 2010
For an update on the Puyallup, Washington, “oral sex coverage,” go to this SPLC Newsflash.
The SPLC reports the judge in the case “issued a confusing ruling in which she determined that The Jagwire was a “limited public forum,” but said that it was nevertheless subject to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1988 Hazelwood ruling, which allows school officials to censor student speech when they can demonstrate a reasonable educational justification.”
Observers expect a decision by the end of the week.
Reading information available so far should make for interesting class discussion.
