Oct 02, 2007Quickie Link: No Justice for Lesbian Student Disciplined For Kissing
By vanrozenheim
(USA) - A ruling from a US federal judge found that a California school did not violate a student’s rights when the student was disciplined for engaging in publicly affectionate conduct with her girlfriend while on the school’s grounds. District judge James V. Selna ruled that Charlene Nguon was not subjected to measures that heterosexual students would not have faced. Nguon’s lawyers, however, said that they would appeal the ruling. Dan Stormer, attorney for Nguon, said, "There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that their despicable treatment of her was totally caused by their dislike of her sexual orientation."
