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.

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.

Again...if the school board was the defendant in the case, it WOULD NEVER BE A JURY TRIAL...THE PLAINTIFF'S WOULD CHOOSE A BENCH!!!!
