Not if we start demanding jury trials for this stuff as opposed to judges making these types of decisions So you're saying you want someone to make a decision contrary to clearly established federal law? If so, that would be judicial activism & we need less of that, not more.

I want people in the community directly affected by these decisions to have the say in any lawsuit.

Moot point...the plaintiff in a civil case demands jury or bench not the defendant (ie school board).

Juries have the responsibility to judge the validity of the law as well as its application. The jury is the final check against an overreaching government.
