Boyertown Student Privacy Case - Randall Wenger on WDAC On Tuesday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that they rejected the appeal in the personal privacy case involving students at the Boyertown Area School District. We concur with the statement made by Alexis Lightcap, one of the student plaintiffs in the case, "I was hopeful the Supreme Court would take up my case. My voice is the echo of so many girls who want their voices to be heard and to feel protected. I hope no other girl finds herself in a situation like mine, where I felt powerless and vulnerable in my own school. Every student's privacy should be protected." Randall Wenger, Chief Counsel for the Independence Law Center and one of the attorneys involved in this case, is the featured guest on The Spotlight program with Greg Barton on WDAC.
