As it happens, yes. Absolutely and resoundingly. Still, the old board's actions were unconstitutional and the court still needed to rule.

I can't agree. Federal judges have no business dictating to local school boards a curriculum. The voters hold school boards accountable, it is not the realm for the federal judiciary.

A school board is not a monarchy in its realm and during its term. It is subject to the US Constitution and must respect the rights of the citizens. It can be sued for failing to do so.
