Via Washington Blade:
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear the case of a [Kentucky] Boyd County High School student who said a school policy denied him the right to speak out against homosexuality.
The high court’s action means an appeals court ruling stands. The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati had found that Timothy Morrison was not harmed by the school policy.
Morrison, who has since graduated, said, “I don’t know much about it,” when asked Monday morning for comment. He referred a reporter to his mother, who deferred to the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group based in Scottsdale, Ariz., that represented Morrison.
Joel Oster, an attorney for the group, said he was disappointed in the court’s action. “We’re disappointed because Christian students and other students who do not approve of homosexual behavior (are not) second-class citizens simply because of their viewpoint,” Oster said.
. . . The case grew out of a long-running controversy that started when a group of students tried to start a Gay-Straight Alliance at the school in 2002. The American Civil Liberties Union sued the school system on the students’ behalf. A federal judge issued an injunction that said the group must be allowed to meet.
This doesn’t bode well for the ADF’s other pet case: Student Sues LA College For Preventing Him From Giving Anti-Gay Speech.
