Cert. Filed In Case Invoving Religious Speech By High School Valedictorian

Yesterday a petition for certiorari (full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in Corder v. Lewis Palmer School District No. 38. In the case, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected constitutional claims brought by a Colorado high school valedictorian who was forced to apologize after she delivered remarks at a high school's graduation ceremony encouraging students to accept Jesus Christ. (See prior posting.) Liberty Counsel issued a release announcing the filing.
