Student gets $117,500 in website free speech case
An AP newswire article, via USA Today, reports that:
A New Jersey school district will pay $117,500 to a student who was punished for creating a website that included critical statements about his middle school.
The settlement of the lawsuit brought nearly two years ago follows a decision by a federal judge ruling that Oceanport school administrators violated Ryan Dwyer's free speech rights.
The settlement was announced Sunday by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey.
