华盛顿州西雅图报道- 一名高中生因派发基督教单张而被 Everett 中学判罚停学处分，但上週五， 一位联邦法官将处分推翻。
 
从法庭上经口述争议後，Thomas Zilly 法官同意太平洋法律协会律师们，裁定校方的规条 － 限制学生只可派发由学生撰写的刊物，在宪法第一修正案的审查下，是不可能接受的。宣判原告 Michael Leal 得直，而校方规条 － 变相阻止学生派发宪法副本或福音单张败诉。按照裁决，法院下令解除对 Michael 的停学处分。与此同时，法院应太平洋法律协会律师们对校方政策上有另叁项不满，批准保留挑战权利。

太平洋法律协会主席 Brad Dacus 评论，「今次的胜诉，是当事人应得的一份毕业礼物。因向同学派发福音单张而遭受停学是不合常理。今天的裁决，證实我们所付出的努力，表明他的无辜，是值得的。」

Court Strikes down School’s Ban on the Constitution, Bible Tracts

June 1, 2015

Seattle, WA—A federal judge last Friday overturned the punishment of an Everett high school senior who had been suspended for handing out Christian tracts.
 
In a ruling from the bench following oral argument, Judge Thomas Zilly agreed with attorneys for Pacific Justice Institute that the school’s rule limiting students to the distribution of only literature that was written by themselves or fellow students could not survive First Amendment scrutiny.  The rule barred students from distributing copies of the Constitution or the gospel tracts favored by plaintiff Michael Leal.  On that basis, the court ordered that Leal’s suspensions be expunged.  Meanwhile, the court left in place three other aspects of the school policies that PJI attorneys also challenged.
 
Brad Dacus, President of Pacific Justice Institute, commented, “This win is a well-deserved graduation present to our client.  He should not have been suspended for simply handing other students gospel tracts, and today’s ruling is a vindication of our efforts on his behalf.”
