California Catholic Daily: A new federal lawsuit filed Friday afternoon challenges restrictions on student speech at a Northern California school.
In September, Esther (not her real name) gave two friends an invitation to an event called Genesis Apologetics that explored topics like creation and evolution. Since Esther shared the invitation outside of class, the school had no involvement with it and was not even aware of it until the mother of one of her friends called the principal and superintendent to complain. The school then summoned Esther to the office to scold her for inviting her friend to the event, and directed her to write an Incident Report confessing her wrongdoing. The acting principal then summoned Esther back to the office several more times to re-write her confession until it was satisfactory. More here.
