Trust me, if the case had gone differently, none of us would ever go to a child's public school event involving a microphone ever again. I feel bad that this girl was raped, or even if she just believes she was, but I don't allow that feeling to translate into a massive shift in an already untenable First Amendment jurisprudence relating to schools.

ETA The District defensed the whole case and defended on appeal for $45K? {Golf clap}
Yes, but -- frivolous? No good faith argument for an extension or change to the law?


eta: It's nice to know that you feel bad she was raped. Anyone ever tell you that everything that's said before "but" doesn't really matter?
