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}

Regardless of the case outcome, the school administration qualifies as assholes.
So some kid pled to a misdeamnor assault charge and they're letting him play? Kick the criminal off the b-ball team.
