NY high school student sues district for painting over her pro-Palestinian parking spot design

A New York student sued the Half Hollow Hills Central School District for painting over her pro-Palestinian parking spot design featuring a watermelon slice, a symbol of Palestinian solidarity.
The student, identified as Jane Khan, decorated her parking spot with a watermelon slice containing a keffiyeh pattern, the phrase 'Peace Be Upon You' in Arabic, and her name, as part of a school tradition.
The lawsuit argues that the school district violated the student's free speech rights, inflicted emotional trauma, and allowed other controversial viewpoints in previous years while painting over her pro-Palestinian design.
