It appears there is more to the Rio Rancho High School poetry story than reported here yesterday.
First, at The Volokh Conspiracy Eugene Volokh (May 23) has the rebuttal from the school and details from the student involved, who’s pretty agitated that her poem has been published on the Internet (and changed) without her approval.
At The Agitator, Radley Balko (May 20) discussed the case. This is where Volokh learned of it, and it was among the comments here that Volokh learned of the rebuttal.
David Neiwert has a long discussion as part of an essay on Facism at Orcinus (May 22).
And there are a number of comments, including those of Patrick Nielsen Hayden, at Electrolite (May 23).
The actual happenings took place last year; the lawsuit against the district was filed September 15. The newspaper column that re-heated the controversy was published in The Daytona Beach News-Journal ten days ago. It was written by a friend of the teacher.
