A 16 year old cheerleader in Texas says she was raped by a local high school basketball star. Basketball star pleads guilty to misdemeanor assault. Cheerleader refuses to cheer for accused rapist/convicted assaulter during a basketball game. School throws her off the cheerleading squad. She sues, the conservative fifth district court affirms right of the school to kick her off AND deems the suit frivolous, which means the cheerleader gets to pay $45000 in legal fees.
Fortunately, the Supreme Court was there to hear her case. I mean, oops. They declined to hear it. And so goes justice in Texas...
