一位法官裁定一位康涅狄格州教师不能在课堂上展示十字架, A judge ruled a Connecticut teacher couldn’t display a crucifix in her classroom, calling it government speech, not personal expression.

一名联邦法官裁定,一名康涅狄格州中学教师没有第一修正案权利在课堂上展示高脚十字架,指出宗教象征是其公务职责的一部分,因此受学校地区控制。 A federal judge ruled that a Connecticut middle school teacher did not have a First Amendment right to display a foot-high crucifix in her classroom, stating the religious symbol was part of her official job duties and thus subject to school district control. 法院认为,课堂装饰构成政府演讲,而不是私人言论,学校对保持宗教中立的兴趣超过教师的宗教表达。 The court held that classroom decorations constitute government speech, not private expression, and that the school’s interest in maintaining religious neutrality outweighed the teacher’s religious expression. 教师Marisol Arroyo-Castro在拒绝取走十字架后被放假和停职,经调查发现她向学生发表宗教言论。 The teacher, Marisol Arroyo-Castro, was placed on leave and suspended after refusing to remove the crucifix, and an investigation found she made religious remarks to students. 她的法律小组计划提出上诉,辩称这一裁决与最高法院关于宗教自由的先例相冲突。 Her legal team plans to appeal, arguing the decision conflicts with Supreme Court precedent on religious liberty.
