It's just a **** symbol of 'job well done.' Do these people know how **** broke our district is? And now they want to sue for something like this? If the ACLU really gave a **** about 1st Amendment rights within CCSD, then maybe they should start going after the school board for deliberately and systematically silencing teachers who simply want accountability.

They're going to lose. It's already been decided that schools can enact dress codes. Also, you don't have freedom of speech at specific events. Schools, businesses and other institutions can enforce codes and rules governing decorum.Vegas » 20 May 2025, 11:23 am » wrote: ↑ CCSD is my school district.

is it someone that wanted to wear a SpongeBob t shirt and clown shoes?
or someone that wants to adorn their robe with religious symbols? (Which is their right)
ACLU suits don’t happen in a vacuum
someone contacted them for a reason
it would be nice to know the details

That didn’t take longVegas » 21 May 2025, 11:40 am » wrote: ↑ How do you figure? They are not forcing them to attend. Attending the graduation ceremony is not a requirement to receiving their diploma.
If the ACLU is going to let slide the teacher's 1st Amendment right for demanding accountability from the board, then they should be consistent. The board has evaded the teachers for years and years. Yet, they find this important? They can pound sand.Mrkelly » 21 May 2025, 11:44 am » wrote: ↑ That didn’t take long
“ Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 388.915 allows students to wear traditional tribal regalia or recognized objects of religious or cultural significance as adornments to their cap and gown.”
again .. we don’t have the details of the suit

It wasn't a dodge. Go back and reread what I said. I made it abundantly clear that it was petty and they should make things consistent. That implies that if might be breaking the rules.Mrkelly » 21 May 2025, 11:55 am » wrote: ↑ dodge #1
how does that address my statement that they might be breaking the rules?
and again… we don’t have a clue what the suit is about
