- SAGE Lawsuit
-
In 2003, students involved with Maple Grove Senior High student group Straights and Gays for Equality (SAGE) approached OutFront Minnesota [2] to discuss the school's restrictions on SAGE's ability to advertise in the school in the same manner as other student groups. In 2005, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the Osseo School District and Maple Grove Senior High on behalf of SAGE. The lawsuit argued that Maple Grove Senior High had violated the Federal Equal Access Act when it refused to allow SAGE the same access (hall posters and the PA system) as other student groups. In April 2006, U.S. District Judge Joan Ericksen issued a temporary injunction, requiring that the school allow SAGE the same access as other student groups. The Osseo School District appealed that injunction, but the appeal was denied by Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in December 2006. In August 2008, a federal appeals court issued a permanent injunction, requiring Maple Grove Senior High to allow SAGE the same access as other student groups.
