Cert. Filed In Classroom Banners Display Controversy

The Thomas More Law Center announced yesterday that it has filed a petition for certiorari (full text) with the U.S. Supreme Court in Johnson v. Poway Unified School District, (cert. filed. 1/19/2012).  In the case, the 9th Circuit rejected claims by a high school calculus teacher that his California school district violated his free speech rights, as well as the Establishment Clause and Equal Protection clause, when it required him to remove large banners he had posted in his classroom that carried historic and patriotic slogans, all mentioning God or the Creator.
