9th Circuit Actually Makes A Wise Decision
A court ruling in a case involving a college professor's racially charged e-mails says First Amendment rights mean people offended should delete the e-mails or engage the sender in debate, not "invoke the power of government to shut them up."A 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling Thursday doesn't outright end a lawsuit filed by Maricopa County Community College District employees. But it provides guidance to the trial judge. The suit against the Phoenix-based district contends it created a hostile work environment by permitting the e-mails. The district in 2007 began proceedings that could have led to Professor Walter Kehowski being fired, but a subsequent agreement restricted his e-mail privileges and allowed him to return to the classroom.
