By admin

For this assignment, we are going to revisit the real case of Johnson v. Poway, a civil suit that was argued in 2010. The issue centers on teacher-generated displays in the classroom setting. The facts are these: in 2007 the Poway School District ordered math teacher Bradley Johnson to remove his classroom displays, claiming that they were inappropriate. The banners at issue had been on his classroom walls for more than 20 years. Johnson argued that they were not inappropriate for the classroom and filed suit against the Poway School District, seeking relief. Bradley will win the first round of litigation, but then lose on appeal. You are going to be a lawyer in the revisiting of this scenario. You will be the lawyer for the Poway School District (banners come down and stay down) OR, you will be the lawyer for Bradley Johnson (banners go back up and stay up). Your choice. Under your title, you must write which side you are representing in court. Are you the lawyer for Bradley or the lawyer for Poway?
