Line 1:
Line 1: − In '''''Tenn. Secondary Sch. Ath. Ass'n v. Brentwood Acad.''''', 127 S. Ct. 2489 (2007) (''Brentwood II''), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] rejected lower court rulings against the athletic association in this long-running dispute that had been before the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] once before. The Court held that an anti-recruiting rule does not violate the [[First Amendment]] and that the athletic association did not deprive the school of any due process rights either.+ − − The Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA) is a not-for-profit membership corporation organized to regulate interscholastic sports among its members, which include some 290 public and 55 private high schools in Tennessee. There is a similar athletic association in most states, and many (such as the New Jersey [[NJSIAA]]) discriminate against [[homeschoolers]] by excluding them from the leagues and competitions, though this was not an issue in this case. − − In a prior trip to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]], the Court held that the TSSAA is a state actor even though it is a non-profit organization. ''Brentwood Academy v. Tennessee Secondary Sch. Ath. Ass'n'', 531 U.S. 288 (2001) (Brentwood I). This ruling is helpful to [[homeschoolers]]. In the 2007 ruling (Brentwood II), Justice [[Clarence Thomas]] criticized that finding of state action, saying that "Brentwood I departed so dramatically from our earlier state-action cases," and he said the Court should have held for the athletic association on that basis − [[Category:United States Supreme Court Cases]] − [[Category:education]]
