Supreme Court Refuses Redneck Shirt Case

The Supreme Court refused Monday to consider whether students can be barred from taking their redneck humor to class.

Justices rejected an appeal from a school district that wanted the court to allow it to bar redneck attire. It was a victory for a New Jersey teenager suspended for wearing a T-shirt he bought at a Wal-Mart store. He also had been criticized for wearing shirts with the Confederate flag.

Nice to know SCOTUS protects the rights of free speech, eh?

Also Monday, the Supreme Court refused to consider whether parents whose children are required to attend schools in another community should have representatives on that school board. At issue is a situation in New Jersey where one town sends hundreds of students to a neighboring borough's schools.

Attorney Kenneth Starr, representing Branchburg residents, said that the Constitution guarantees Branchburg parents a voice in the policy decisions of their children's' education in nearby Somerville.
