The School Law Blog: Justices Decline Review of Pledge, Other School Cases


The School Law Blog: Justices Decline Review of Pledge, Other School Cases:

"The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied review of several appeals involving public education, including cases about the Pledge of Allegiance in schools, T-shirts bearing Confederate symbols, peer sexual harassment, and special education.

The cases were among several hundred denied by the justices in orders issued on the first formal day of the 2009-10 term of the court. Several of the denials came in cases dealing with hot-button social issues, which I previewed here last month."
