When you get around to reading the judge's opinion, you will see that he basis his jurisdiction on a long line of cases that apply the First Amendment to the states. I don't like it either, but it's based on the 14th Amendment. It's Abe Lincoln's fault.

Also, when you read the opinion, you will learn that the judge found (as the plaintiffs originally complained) that the school board's activities violated the state constitution too.

I'm sure there were plenty of excuses for the federal judge to insert himself into a local decision...a decision the voters could rectify if they really thought it was wrong.

If this decision stands, there will be no reason for anyone to complain about the Ninth Circus' idiotic decisions regarding our kids' education and the local curriculum decisions...

I continue to believe there is no place for a federal judge to decide a local school district's curriculum. None. The Constitution doesn't permit it.

"I continue to believe there is no place for a federal judge to decide a local school district's curriculum. None. The Constitution doesn't permit it."

Then bring the case to the SCOTUS, on the basis of the Constitutionality of the jurisdiction.

And, once again - the voters DID rectify it. They threw the board out in the next elections.
