Supreme Court declines anti-gay student case

(Washington) The Supreme Court said Monday that it would not take the case of a Kentucky high school student who wants to sue his school district over a policy that allegedly barred him from expressing opposition to homosexuality.

The justices did not comment in denying the appeal of Timothy Morrison, who alleges he was harmed by the policy of the Boyd County Board of Education.

The federal appeals court in Cincinnati ruled last year that Morrison failed to show how he was harmed by the policy and tossed out the lawsuit. The ruling was a reversal of a previous ruling that held Morrison should be allowed to pursue the lawsuit.

Morrison, a senior at Boyd County High School, sued the Boyd County school district over a policy that required students to undergo anti-harassment training. He claimed the policy threatened him with punishment for expressing religious beliefs in opposition to homosexuality. Morrison is a professed Christian who believes his religion requires him to speak out against what he sees as behavior that doesn’t comport with his understanding of Christian morality.

Im glad they saw it for what it was. While they did not make comment on it the Christian Right has been doing this for a while now. They sue saying that because they are not allowed to verbally attack another student based on their personal religious beliefs they are being discriminated against - up is down, cats are dogs. Hopefully this helps to stop such deplorable actions.

and figs? :shrug:

GOD HATES FIGS!

What fucking bible are they reading?

Sounds like he needs to get laid....

Sort of imitating the SPLC's policy of suing the rw bigots out of existence, now the haters have caught on.

And here I thought they didn't like lawsuits and lawyers? :sarcasm:
