Federal court protects freedom of speech and gay students at the same time

A federal appeals court has ruled that it is possible to protect both the safety of gay and lesbian students as well as the freedom of speech of students who have religious objections to homosexuality. Originally the school had a policy that forbade students from expressing their views on homosexuality, in an effort to protect gay students from hate speech. The court said the school had gone too far, and should be able to give students first amendment rights as well as maintain a safe atmosphere.
