[NYRA] US Supreme Court Rules 8-1 in Favor of Student Rights!!

Thu Jun 25 12:58:35 EDT 2009

Dear NYRA Supporters,

Youth Rights is on the march!

What a great week to be a youth rights supporter! Tuesday, 
NYRA-Southeast Florida filed their lawsuit against West Palm Beach's 
curfew law. This was the first lawsuit filed entirely by a NYRA chapter. 
Then today, in an 8 to 1 decision, the US Supreme Court declared the 
strip search of Arizona middle school student Savana Redding to be 
illegal! This was the first Supreme Court case in which NYRA was 
officially a part, since we filed a joint amicus curiae brief in support 
of Ms. Redding. Perhaps this ruling is a good omen for NYRA-SEFL's 
curfew case.

NYRA is proud to be a part of two major youth rights events in one week, 
and we hope our members will join us in celebrating!
