CA Judge Rules that Bible Verse is Hate Speech

We read:

“A federal judge has rejected a claim that the Poway Unified School District violated a teenager’s First Amendment rights by pulling him out of class for wearing a T-shirt with an anti-gay slogan.

Tuesday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge John Houston reaffirmed an earlier decision in which he found the school district’s policy on hate speech lawful.

Tyler Harper sued the school in 2004 after the district said he could not wear a shirt printed with a Bible verse condemning homosexuality.

What was that stuff about freedom of religion?

I wonder how a similar verse from the Koran would have gone?

    I thought the same thing re. the photographer being sued for not covering a same-sex union. These are areas where Islam could come in handy. We just need to find some Muslim plaintiffs to do something virtually identical then show the double standard.

    It is absurd, as well as unconstiutional, to allow some polical speech, but arbitarily ban other political speech as “hate speech.” Who John Doe hates, is simply none of the state’s business.
