"Judge rules high school club can meet pending outcome of lawsuit"

That's the CNN headline about Judge Moore's ruling:

A high school club that promotes tolerance of gays must be allowed to meet while a lawsuit is pending, a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore ruled Friday that Okeechobee High School must grant the same privileges to the Gay-Straight Alliance that it grants other clubs, as mandated by the federal Equal Access Act.

The American Civil Liberties Union sued the Okeechobee school board in November on behalf of the high school's Gay-Straight Alliance after school officials said the group was a "sex-based" organization that would violate its abstinence-only education policy.

In his 12-page ruling, Moore wrote that the group and its founder, high school senior Yasmin Gonzalez, have "demonstrated a substantial likelihood of success" on their claim that the school violated federal law when it prohibited the club from meeting.

    I read the link. it seems the other way around. A nutjob attacking Rumpole. And what in the world does cancer have to do with it? Rumpole has never mentioned this person was physically ill- suggested he was mentially ill perhaps. And judging by the anger he exhibits when he posts the florida rules of civil procedure, he probably is mentally ill. Only a coward would hide behind a (pretend?) illness.
