Cert. Filed In 9th Circuit Anti-Gay T-Shirt Case

The Alliance Defense Fund announced that this week it filed a petition for certiorari (full text) with the U.S. Supreme Court in Harper v. Poway Unified School District. In a 2-1 decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held last April that a California high school could ban a student from wearing a T-shirt proclaiming: "Be Ashamed, Our School Embraced What God Has Condemned", and "Homosexuality Is Shameful". (See prior posting.) The cert petition argues that the decision is in conflict with those in other circuits.
