School Will Not Appeal Religious Flier Case

The Student Press Law Center reported yesterday that the Liverpool (New York) Central School District will not file an appeal in M.B. v. Liverpool Central School District, decided last March. (See prior posting.) In the case, a federal district court held that the school district had violated a fourth-grader's First Amendment speech rights by refusing to permit her to hand out Christian religious fliers to her classmates during non-instructional times.
