Teen Rapper Case Settled
PITTSBURGH- The Riverside Beaver School District agreed on Monday evening to settle a federal lawsuit with ninth-grade-student, Anthony Latour, and his parents, John and Denise Latour, of Ellwood City, Pennsylvania over the teen rapper’s songs. In addition to a $90,000 financial settlement, the school district agreed to amend its policy regarding the circumstances under which it can exclude students from school because of their speech and to provide a letter to the Latour family which includes a statement acknowledging that “Anthony Latour has not threatened the school or students by way of his songs.”
