Good. Denying it to them is unconscionable. They were clearly wronged and to suggest that it wasn't due to systemic racism is ludicrous.

I found it absolutely baffling that there was a push to get it taught in a way that doesn’t suggest it occurred based on race. It’s not just ludicrous, but rather malicious. Once you edit out that key fact, what else gets edited out?

I agree, but this isn't even about education. Even if they never taught it in any school, these people were still directly affected by it and deserve restitution.

Why the hell does CNN not include why it was dismissed? That is basic info that directly follows the title. They don't even mention the name of the case or direct link to the decision so we can read for ourselves. They do mention some arguments that were made by both sides, but made no mention of what reasoning is actually in the decision.

The why is in an article they link to about the initial decision now being appealed. The link is in the first paragraph.

From that other article:

Judge Caroline Wall on Friday found that “upon hearing the arguments of counsel and considering the briefs filed by counsel for plaintiffs and counsel for defendants” the plaintiffs’ Second Amendment petition “should and shall be” dismissed with prejudice, court records show.

I’m even more confused now. Were the plaintiffs attempting to bring this lawsuit on Second Amendment grounds?

CNN still doesn’t list the case name or link to the decision so one can read more.
