In March 2006 the ACLU filed suit on behalf of 19 parents seeking to reinstate the widely-acclaimed International Baccalaureate program (IB), which had been cut by a five-member school-board majority that had made comments about IB conflicting with their "Judeo-Christian" traditions and indicating that they wanted to retaliate against the IB students and parents, who worked against them in last Fall's elections. The case, which raised political-retaliation and religious-liberty claims, settled in May with the school board agreeing to reinstate IB for at least two years and to adhere to the District’s curriculum-review policy in deciding whether to change the program.
