This was ruled based on "the public's best interest" even though the school was found in violation of the girl's 1st Amendment rights. It is good to know that you support legal findings based on evidence supporting "the public's best interest". I will keep that in mind.
Well it is kind of what the school administration was going for; Shaming her into giving up her dignity as a human being by making her the object of her peers' resentments. That's why they just cancelled the prom altogether. It wasn't about distractions, etc...it was about adults letting their need to win a pissing contest eclipse their good sense.
The pissing contest was two-way. She was told that she had to adhere to the dress code like everyone else, and she refused to do so because she wanted to use prom to make a statement. Her parents, adults themselves, were apparently okay with this. The school was dumb to cancel the prom, though. They should have just not let her in.
She's 18, not a child.

I must say I'm glad we're not having a federal court force a school to hold a prom simply to provide Constance with a stage from which to express her first amendment rights. I thought it would be ludicrous for the injuction to be granted.
Now having lost the injunction, it is expected that Constance will take the case to court with a "substantial liklihood" to win on the first amendment claim, where she will try to recover $1 in damages plus attorney's fees. Good thing for her she got the $30,000 on Ellen because it doesn't appear that the case itself is doing much for her.
She's a child.
Actually, since the case will be heard by a jury, I think the girl is going to get far more than $1.
Also ... the federal judge who denied the injunction is a spineless coward who lacked the ball-balls to do the right thing. It's just more political BS being masked under the cover of public interest.
I think that judge needs to be removed from the bench for utter spinelessness.
She should get nothing, & be expelled from this school......

Good thing your opinion doesn't matter and is completely irrelevant :rofl
She was just trying to stir up trouble.....
Now, she's 'traumatized'?....Please.....:roll:
She's a child.
She was fighting against anti-homosexual bigots and has won a great battle. The school will never be able to have a prom again unless it allows homosexuals.
She won and homophobes that you support lost. :2wave:
Hopefully, she will be remembered as the selfish girl who killed the prom at that school.....
Or the school willaccept the 'agenda' that has been shoved upon them....
Either way, it will be her peers who judge her....
Yeah, just like those selfish bitches who demanded that schools be integrated back in the 60s, or that insisted that they shouldn't sit in the back of the bus, thus ruining the experience for the rest of us.
We all know how history has viewed them.

She's old enough to die for her country on a dirt road in the Helmand province... most likely at the hands of a soldier even younger than herself.
At some point, the term "child" simply ceases to have meaning.

Terrible example same old tired stale left wing talking points....A race of people and a class of people are two totally diferent things......
How so, Darwin?
Why would this trial be heard by a jury??Actually, since the case will be heard by a jury, I think the girl is going to get far more than $1.
Yeah, just like that :roll:Yeah, just like those selfish bitches who demanded that schools be integrated back in the 60s, or that insisted that they shouldn't sit in the back of the bus, thus ruining the experience for the rest of us.
