The 4th Circuit had ruled for Grimm last summer. Today, SCOTUS denied the school board's petition to hear the case, leaving intact a lower court opinion finding Grimm's constitutional rights were violated buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Speaking after today's order came down, Grimm said he didn't regret taking on the legal fight and felt "joy" and "honor" about his role, but also stressed that it was "really important that we highlight that that should not have happened to a child" buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
