It's painful to think that a public school would act in the manner portrayed by the ruling in this case. No biased lifestyle agenda can be allowed to be promoted in public schools as the facts in this case suggest.
Three cheers for Judge Rosen!
Judge Rosen's 70-page opinion began with blistering criticism of the school:
"This case presents the ironic, and unfortunate, paradox of a public high school celebrating 'diversity' by refusing to permit the presentation to students of an 'unwelcomed' viewpoint on the topic of homosexuality and religion, while actively promoting the competing view. This practice of 'one-way diversity,' unsettling in itself, was rendered still more troubling-both constitutionally and ethically-by the fact that the approved viewpoint was, in one manifestation, presented to students as religious doctrine by six clerics (some in full garb) quoting from religious scripture. In its other manifestation, it resulted in the censorship by school administrators of a student's speech about 'what diversity means to me,' removing that portion of the speech in which the student described the unapproved viewpoint."
