Rulings
A federal court in Illinois partially granted a former high school student’s motion to certify a class of all students who participated in Chicago Public Schools’ “Quiet Time program” between 2015 and 2019. The student has sufficiently alleged that the program was presented as being secular, but featured “hidden” Hindu religious elements, such as chanting Sanskrit mantras that honored Hindu deities and were not “meaningless,” as the student was told.
A federal court in West Virginia denied a class of former foster care children’s motion for sanctions against the West Virginia Department of Health Services because it did not timely produce case files in the class’s civil rights suit over “systemic deficiencies” in the state’s foster care system.
