It's nice to see some accountability but, I would not look for any actual change in policy.

I am glad that the parent’s of this student took it as far as they did, and were successful.

I'm trying to look at this from both perspectives.

If anyone had painted the rock with, for example "Live like Obama" or someone like that, would anyone at the school have objected? And if they had objected and painted the rock over, would they have had to pay out $95K in a lawsuit?

I don't know the answers to those questions, but I think it is a point worthy of consideration.


My two cents.

Exactly. There are bias approved narratives.
If it were "Live like George Floyd". A criminal woman beater and drug addict.
The school would have said how 'brave and courageous' it was.

She had permission to paint the rock.

Then they reneged on their decision based on her religious beliefs.

Clearly a violation of her Constitutional Rights.

They should have said no to begin with or lived with their initial decision.

Perhaps. Although there likely would have been some outrage from the right.

And perhaps, at some point, a lawsuit.

At least the lawyers are getting something out of all this...
