Whitehead vs. Whitehead in a fight to the coda

A little over two weeks ago I mentioned upcoming litigation in the Everett School District, as the Jackson High School wind ensemble was barred from playing an instrumental (!) version of "Ave Maria" at commencement.

Today, papers were served, the Rutherford Institute (John Whitehead presiding*) representing saxophonist Kathryn Nurre. Quoth the other Whitehead, no relation, who nixed Nurre's musical ambitions:

"I don't make decisions based on personal philosophy. I make decisions based on what I agreed to do here," she said.

Which, apparently, is still "standing up for the stupid."




*Yep, it's a strange world when a Christian Reconstructionist sounds like the voice of reason.
