Suit Challenges Suspension of Student For Preaching, Bringing Bible To School

A lawsuit filed last week in a California federal district court charges that the Grossmont Union High School District infringed the constitutional rights of 16-year old Kenneth Dominguez when it told him he could not bring his Bible to school or preach at school. According to a press release from the Pacific Justice Institute, eventually the student was suspended for two days when he refused to comply.  According to yesterday's San Diego Union Tribune, the school district says that Dominguez has a history of disruptive behavior and was interrupting class.
