U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1727
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Benton, Circuit Judge, and Baker,
District Judge]
Civil case - Injunctions. District court erred in granting plaintiffs
injunctive relief allowing them to return to school as the district court's
findings do not support the relief granted; the plaintiffs are unlikely to
succeed on the merits since their speech actually caused a substantial
disruption to the educational environment and is not protected by the First
Amendment; further, the findings do not establish sufficient irreparable
harm to justify a preliminary injunction.
