Nov 23, 2006Articles: Calif. Appeals Court Asked To Uphold Anti-Bully Ruling
By vanrozenheim
(San Diego, USA) Lawyers for two students at a San Diego area school have asked a California appeals court to uphold a ruling that found the Poway Unified School District responsible for not protecting LGBT students. Joey Ramelli and Megan Donovan were students at Poway High School, a school in the Poway Unified School District in northern San Diego County. Over the course of their junior year other students relentlessly taunted them with antigay slurs and Joey was even physically assaulted and his car was vandalized. The two students found the harassment so brutal that they both had to drop out of Poway High School and completed studies toward their high school diploma at home.
