Judge Rejects Halting AIDS Victim’s Return
A judge on Wednesday turned down a request to block 14-year-old AIDS victim Ryan White from returning to school Friday because he is considered a health risk.
Howard Circuit Court Judge Alan Brubaker denied a motion for a temporary restraining order filed on behalf of three of White’s classmates. But the judge, who indicated he did not have enough evidence to decide the issue, said that he would reconsider the motion Friday.
The motion was filed on grounds that Ryan has a communicable disease and should be kept out of school because he is a health risk.
