How can her rights be violated? No One has a RIGHT to a Prom. And the school is NOT holding a Prom. The Judge is an idiot. Is the Judge going to ask the Federal Government to pay for this Prom? This loses on every level.
Use your head. The fact that they excluded her from the prom violated her first amendment rights. They canceled the prom due to her challenge.
The judge didn't say that she had a right to a prom. That is why he didn't order the school to hold one. He said that the school violated her rights by excluding her.
There is no prom there for she was not denied the right to attend. Pretty simple concept.
Is it really hard to get the fact they denied her access to a public school sponsored event?
Doesn't matter if they canceled the prom after doing so, they still violated her first amendment rights by not allowing her to attend prom in the first place.
