On January 11, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Palmer v Waxahachie Independent School District, no. 09-409. The issue was whether the Constitution protects the ability of a student at a public high school to wear a T-shirt to school that contains a campaign message. In this case, the student wanted to wear a T-shirt promoting John Edwards for president. The U.S. District Court and the 5th circuit had both ruled against the student, and the case is now over.
