UPDATE FROM THE CROTON CHRONICLE: PARENTS DEFENDING EDUCATION ASKS FEDERAL JUDGE FOR A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST EIGHT DISTRICT POLICIES

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Update: Parents Defending Education asks federal judge for a preliminary injunction against eight district policies.

PDE lays out its arguments in a 33 page memorandum of law and accompanying exhibits. But the organization's lawyers seem to realize that they need to overturn some Second District precedents first.

For reasons that are not entirely clear, the federal court docket for the Southern District of New York has been belatedly updated with a June 13 notice of motion for a preliminary injunction against enforcement by the district of eight policies being challenged in a lawsuit brought by Parents Defending Education on June 12.

The plea:

“Plaintiff requests an injunction prohibiting Defendants from taking any action to enforce against students the prohibitions on “harassment” and materially similar terms contained in District Policies 0110, 0110-R, 0115, 115-R, 0115-E, 5300, 4526, and 4526-R.”
